Spring Vocation Pilgrimages | brrob@utcatholic.org
Men and women who desire to learn more about the consecrated life, single life, priesthood, or another life of service in the Catholic Church take a trip together to spend time with different religious communities, stay with them, pray along-side them, share meals, and serve with them, all the while contemplating how God might be calling them to live their lives.
Women's Vocation Pilgrimage | jocelyn@utcatholic.org
An Undivided Heart, takes place every January before Spring classes begin. University women commit to living in community, accompanied by our campus minister, Jocelyn, and journey through the Diocese of Austin, visiting various religious communities. The pilgrimage gives women an opportunity to dive deeper into the evangelical councils of poverty, chastity and obedience while entering into the daily life of consecrated heart.
Men's Vocation Pilgrimage, May 23-30, 2022. Applications open in the Spring
Empowered by the Spirit | brrob@utcatholic.org
Empowered by the Spirit is the University Catholic Center's programming initiative focused on aiding students in vocation discernment and providing them with opportunities to develop as confident Christian leaders. Students are invited to participate in small vocation discernment groups, retreats, and spiritual direction focused on identifying, cultivating, and employing their gifts in service to their communities of faith. In addition, students are provided with Christian leadership formation through professional networking and mentoring with Catholic faculty and staff at UT Austin, the greater-Austin Catholic community, and Catholic alumni of the university.
