"Called By Name," a national vocation program, is continuing in the diocese in the Fall River and New Bedford dearierie~ during the first three weekends in October. The program was introduced to the diocese in the Attleboro and Taunton deaneries one year ago by Bishop Daniel A. Cronin and diocesan vocations director Msgr. John J. Smith. The "Called By Name" title comes from the words of the Lord in the Old Testament book of Isaiah: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name: you are mine." (Is. 43: I) Developed by Serra International, an organization dedicated to encouragement of vocations, and the National Conference ofCatholie Bishops' vocations committee, of which Bishop Cronin is a member, Called By Name involves personal approach to young persons identified by priests, religious or laypersons as possessing qualities fitting them for the priesthood or religious life. The second phase of Called By Name was launched with a Sept. I I meeting of Fall River and New Bedford area clergy. Msgr. Smith distributed guidelines and suggestions for the weekends of Oct. 5-6,12-13, and 19-20, when parishioners in the two deaneries will find a form in their bulletins asking them to suggest names of young men and women whom they feel might be interested in considering life as a priest, sister or brother. Forms are to be dropped in collection baskets or returned to the rectory, and parishioners do
not necessarily have to identify themselves. , Mass homilies'on the designated weekends address the topic of vocations and all diocesans are asked to pray for the success of Called By Name. Names of young people submitted in parishes will not be forwarded to Bishop Cronin without their consent. Parish priests will contact nominees personally to explain the vocation program and ask permission to send their names to the bishop so that he can invite them to an informational program to be held later this year.
