Vocation Story | I had an inner angst while working. I talked to the vocation director about it. We decided to pray a novena to Our Lady Undoer of Knots. On the ninth day I heard a soft voice saying, “Go be a priest” when asking what God’s Will is for me. I went to adoration and asked the same question. I heard the same answer. From there I followed-up with the vocation director and have moved forward. Mary yet again led me to Jesus. |

How can Mundelein's donors and community pray for you? | Continue to support vocations with your time, talent, and treasure as you can. For parents please let your children know you support them pursuing a religious vocation if they feel the call. Talk to them about different vocations, encourage them to serve others, and encourage the boys to be altar servers. |
