VOCATIONS to the priesthood and religious life will be promoted for the first time at the Careers and Employment Expo at the Brisbane Convention Centre on June 3-4.
Brisbane’s archdiocese’s vocations promotions officer Mark Lysaght said this was the first time vocations to the priesthood and religious life would compete against others in a recruitment sense.
Mr Lysaght said volunteers would use DVD and PowerPoint presentations to show some of the roles religious and priests fill.
He said some members of religious orders and priests would be at the expo to talk first-hand about their vocation.
Representatives from Holy Spirit Seminary, St Paul’s Theological College, Rosies and NET (National Evangelisation Team) Ministries will also attend the expo.
Mr Lysaght said among the mottos used at the careers weekend would be “Take the road less travelled” and “Men and women on a mission”.
