The first ever national vocations discernment weekend has taken place at Oscott College in Birmingham.
The event, called Invocation 2010, was aimed at young men and women discerning a vocation to the priesthood or the religious life or simply wanting to find out more.
There were a number of religious communities represented, and Archbishops Longley, Smith, and Nichols celebrated Masses.
There were also talks by Abbot Christopher Jamison, who spoke about the theology of vocation, and Dr Andrew O’Connell on how fulfilment can never ultimately be found in a digital age of instant gratification, but only in Christ.
