All earthly fulfilment gives us only a foretaste of eternal happiness. Above and vastitude that, we should be drawn to God” (YouCat 281). Through Baptism, we are each tabbed to wilt holy, a saint, to be happy forever with God in Heaven. Flowing from his or her Baptism, every human person has a unique calling, or vocation, given by God. This is the personal and unrepeatable way we can respond to God’s love in his Body, the Church. This undeniability might be to the Sacred Priesthood, to religious or consecrated life, to marriage, or to lay theological celibacy. The Department for Vocation is led by Mgr Vincent Harvey. The Vocations Director is Fr Gerard Flynn.   Priestly Vocations Priesthood Promotions: Fr John Cooke  PriestlyInsemination  Priesthood Discernment and ongoing training: Fr Gerard Flynn   Students for the priesthood Allen HallIan Cornford James Lewis St John’s College, Wonersh Paul Nwune Johnpromise Umeozuru St Mary’s, Oscott Mohanraj Edward David BatemanAmbrose Chou   Beda College, Rome Kevin Conmee   Venerable English College, Rome Matthew King Oliver WelsfordEdward Hauschild   Bishop's House Anthony Fyk   Marriage and Family Life “What the Church is on a large scale, the family is on a small scale: an image of God’s love in human fellowship. Indeed, every marriage is perfected in openness to others, to the children that God sends, in bilateral acceptance, in hospitality and stuff for others” (YouCat 271). The Marriage and Family Life team is concerned with helping our diocese towards a renewed appreciation of the Church’s taxing yet trappy vision of marriage and family life.

But we pray moreover considering we need to; Mother Teresa says, ‘Because I cannot rely on myself, I rely on him, twenty-four hours a day’” (YouCat 470). The SpiritualInseminationteam seeks to promote the spiritual insemination of clergy and laity wideness the diocese by opening for them the riches of the Catholic Tradition of spirituality, ascetical theology, prayer and devotions, expressly as shown in the teachings and lives of the saints. It is moreover concerned with inspiring and teaching people to pray, to develop a personal-passionate relationship with Jesus Christ, to discern the undeniability to intentional discipleship of him, and to be enlightened of the personal charisms, gifts and talents that God has given them.   Team Leader: Christopher Simon-Evans spirituality@portsmouthdiocese.org.uk   Download Introductory Brochure   Visit the SpiritualInseminationpage   Liturgy Team Leader: Fr Chris Rutledge     Diaconate Team Leader: Fr Peter Hart   Contact Rev Mgr Canon Vincent Harvey, 14 Rockstone Place, Southampton, SO15 2EQ.
