Vocations Awareness Day
On the 11th of September this year, S1-S4 pupils had the fantastic opportunity to attend a Vocations event in Turnbull as part of National Vocations Awareness Week. The day-long event, arranged by the RE department in collaboration with SERRA proved a huge success, with various different speakers, with different nationalities, who had fascinating stories of how they found their vocations. This opportunity allowed our wider community to connect, celebrate, and through our faith, everyone was joined together in considering God’s calling for each of us. We were fortunate enough to welcome back three former pupils of Turnbull High who have each chosen religious paths to follow in their lives: Sister Andrea (Sisters of the Gospel of Life), Brother (Soon to be Father!) Anthony of the Passionists and Mairi-Clare who works for the Archdiocesan Youth Team. At the end of each talk, the pupils were able to chat and ask questions to any of the visitors, which gave everyone different perspectives on the idea of vocation. We were reminded that faith is the key to happiness and, from this fabulous experience, we pray that each pupil will
become stronger in their faith and begin to listen to God’s voice in their lives.
