Service with a side of adventure

Best part of ministry so far?

Being inspired by the faith of the people I’ve met, especially Catholics in parts of Asia who are being persecuted for their faith and those in parts of East Africa who literally own nothing—yet faithfully walk for miles every day to attend Mass.

Favorite saint?

Thérèse of Lisieux, the “Little Flower,” is the patroness of missions and my personal hero. I try to live by her “Little Way” of letting go of my own selfishness by surrendering to God. I think it’s necessary to do this as a seminarian, particularly one living as I am now, in a completely unfamiliar culture.

Funniest experience with your community?

While visiting a group of Maryknoll priests in rural Tanzania, a herd of cows got loose from a local tribe and stampeded through our camp. They shredded my tent to pieces. For about a week I slept in the back of an old pick-up truck. It wasn’t too funny at the time, but now I can look back on the experience and laugh about it!

Favorite way to pray?

Taking quiet time for myself in front of the Blessed Sacrament is important, but the main way I pray is by getting out and interacting with other people. It’s very hard for me to sit still, so my favorite way to find God is to explore my surroundings, appreciate the beauty of the place I’m in, and sense God’s presence in those I meet.

People would be surprised to learn . . .

I was a contestant on the TV game show Jeopardy in 2009. If you grow up in Detroit with a mom who’s a cop and a dad who works in a steel factory, chances are you learn something about service and resilience. Those traits come in handy in the missionary life, which is where Peter Latouf finds himself now. These days the seminarian is learning Mandarin Chinese to prepare to serve as a priest in Asia.

Following an exciting stint of overseas teaching while in college, Peter acted on a lifelong interest in religious life and found his community, the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, through the VISION Vocation Network’s VocationMatch.com. “I saw in the Maryknoll priests the same willingness to serve and spirit of adventure that I had,” he says.

Congregation of Holy Cross

(C.S.C.) The Congregation of Holy Cross was founded in France in 1837. Blessed Basil Moreau began a community of priests, brothers and sisters, to educate the children of LeMans, France, and to assist in the diocese as auxiliary priests. In just five years, he sent six brothers and a priest to the United States as missionaries where they began the school in northern Indiana that eventually became the University of Notre Dame. The priests and brothers serve at five other institutions of higher learning: St. Edward’s University (Austin, TX), the University of Portland (Portland, OR), King’s College (Wilkes-Barre, PA), Stonehill College (North Easton, MA), and Holy Cross College (Notre Dame, IN) as well as many high schools. Today Holy Cross religious serve in parishes, schools, and missions in 15 countries spanning the world. In 2010, the Congregation celebrated the canonization of Brother André Bessette, who was known as “The Miracle Man of Montreal” and oversaw the building of St. Joseph’s Oratory in Montreal.

(S.S.S.) Founded in 1856 by St. Peter Julian Eymard, the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament is an apostolic group of priests and brothers whose ideal is to live fully the mystery of God’s love manifested in the Eucharist. In each of their communities, the Eucharist forms the center of their lives as a communal celebration of Mass, as internalized in a prayer of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and as lived through an active mission of preaching, teaching, parish and sacramental ministries, outreach to the poor, and academic scholarship. Blessed Sacrament priests and brothers are authentic witnesses to the renewing power of the Eucharist for the Church and the world. In the USA, Blessed Sacrament Communities are located in the Archdioceses of New York, Houston, San Antonio, and Chicago; and in the Dioceses of Cleveland and St. Petersburg. Come, join our mission!

cisco, CA The COSJ, a Catholic religious order of men, was founded recently within the Archdiocese of San Francisco.

Discalced Carmelite Friars, (O.C.D.)—Wash-

ington Province We are a religious Order with eremitic roots on Mount Carmel from the late 12th century. In 16th century Spain, St. Teresa of Jesus, with St. John of the Cross, initiated the “Discalced Reform” within the Carmelite Order which became a new, separate Order. The friars desire a life of faithful prayer, seeking union with God through a “life of allegiance to Jesus Christ.” Our Constitutions mandate two hours of silent prayer every day. Our ministries include retreat work, spiritual direction, publications, a Marian shrine and mission work in Kenya. As brothers in community we live as a family at the service of the Church—to bear a message of hope, to be a quiet but constant sign of God’s presence in the world. In the company of Mary, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, we ponder the words of her Son and the mystery of His Love.

The Dominican Friars (O.P.) [Order of Preach-

ers] Pope John Paul II, when he received the General Council of the Dominicans in his private library, told them: “Only those who have the experience of God can speak of him convincingly to others. At the school of Saint Dominic and of all the Dominican saints, you are called to be teachers of truth and of holiness.” Dominic de Guzman (1170-1221) was on fire with the love of God when he found the Order of Preachers (the Dominicans) and gathered around him a group of men dedicated to preaching the truth of God’s endless love. Since that time Dominicans have continued their legacy of preaching in any given time or place, and in the most effective and suitable ways, the gospel message of Jesus Christ.

Franciscan Friars, Conventual The Conventual Franciscans are the oldest of the three branches of the First Order of St. Francis. The word Conventual is derived from the Latin convenire, “to come together”; hence we live together in “convents” or friaries. Our Order is spread throughout the world, and includes about 4500 priests and brothers who are all commonly called Friars. There are four provinces in North America, which also have responsibility for jurisdictions in the UK, Ireland and Australia. We wear a black or gray habit with a simple three-knotted cord representing our Vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience. The Spiritual Center of the Order is in Assisi, Italy, where our Friars care for the Basilica of St. Francis, which includes his tomb. In addition, the Conventuals are the Vatican confessors at St. Peter’s Basilica. In Christ’s name, we continue the ministry of healing so fundamental to the understanding of Saint Francis.

Jesuits (S.J.) [Society of Jesus] We are the largest order of priests and brothers in the Catholic Church. We are global in mission but unified by the vision of our founder, the 16th century soldier-turned-mystic, Ignatius Loyola, who urged us to “Go and set the world on fire!” We are contemplatives in action: rooted in prayer and dedicated to the service of faith and the promotion of justice. We work in thousands of ministries on the frontiers of human experience and need-- as pastors, teachers, chaplains, doctors, artists, lawyers, film makers, spiritual directors, and much more. We are vowed religious; our communities are centered on prayer and Eucharist. We seek God in all things, because Christ—in the words of the Jesuit poet Gerard Manley Hopkins—“plays in ten thousand places, lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his, to the Father through the features of men’s faces.” Is God calling you to join us?

We were founded in response to Mary’s apparition at La Salette in France on September 19, 1846. Our Blessed Mother appeared to two children who were herding cows, and gave them a message to “make known to all my people.” The Missionaries of La Salette came to the United States and Canada in 1892 and first established in Hartford, CT. Today the we work to bring her message to a world that needs its comfort and challenge. Our ministries are many, such as shrines, parishes, chaplaincies, home and foreign missions, teaching, counseling, music and youth ministries. If you are between the ages of 18 - 38 and would like to learn more about us and our ministry of reconciliation please contact: La Salette Vocation Office, 404-569-0617; email: lasalettevocations@gmail.com.

Missionaries of the Holy Family (M.S.F.) The Missionaries of the Holy Family were founded as a religious community in 1895 in Holland. Today, we minister throughout the world. We base our community life on the model of the Holy Family who lived simple lives in faithful response, love, and care to the mission of Jesus. Our founder taught us to seek out and encourage vocations. We strive to live a missionary spirit by bringing the Gospel message wherever it is not sufficiently proclaimed. Here in North America, we are involved as priests and brothers in parishes, schools, hospitals, and missions. Our work reflects the care and concern we have for family life.
