A New and Exciting Ministry in the CR Community

Father Toby Collins, CR with the support of the Ontario Kentucky Province of the Congregation of the Resurrection has now launched a new ministry supported by a new website.   The leadership of the Congregation has supported Father Toby, who is our vocation director, in this new direction. 

We believe that if there are to be vocations to religious (consecrated) life and priesthood in the church that we have to create a “vocation culture”.  It is only in creating the awareness that God actually has a plan for us, which we can choose to follow or not.  Obviously, the greatest fulfillment and rewards in living will be felt if we use our respective talents and gifts as God calls us to use them.

Father Toby, through his preaching, his work with the young, his work with parents and through this highly communicative and interactive web site, will help parishes, families and individuals to discover and live in the vocation culture.

When one lives in the vocation culture and listens to God’s call, then it may well be that there is a call to religious, consecrated life or to priesthood or permanent diaconate.  If this is the case, then his ministry as vocation director continues in a new direction. The web site will promote all vocations: priesthood, religious life, married life and single life from a Christian perspective.      

The Ontario Kentucky Province of the Congregation of the Resurrection is very proud of Father Toby and his efforts.  We support this direction and we invite all who read this release, and all who are our friends to go to his website often and read about the “epic journey” in the vocation culture.  You will find the site at www.vocationculture.ca  or you can simply go to our website www.resurrectionist.ca and find links to this ministry.
