Coarse Description

The word "vocation" comes from the Latin, vocare, to call. Vocation is something each of us is called to by God. This next semester will deal with "the calling", the hound of heaven beckoning you to succumb to the danger of growth so as to live the life that YOU were meant to live.

The course is designed to help students grow in awareness of the varied responsibilities of money, spirituality, dating, courtship, marriage, single life and religious vocation. Prerequisite: senior standing. (5 Credits)
