?To Live a Life Worthy of Your Vocation? was the theme of this year?s Bishop?s Convocation on Aug. 17 at Lake Catholic High School in Mentor.
Bishop Nelson Perez celebrated the traditional start-of-the-school-year Mass for several hundred principals, teachers, campus ministers, high school presidents, parish catechetical leaders, youth ministers and Newman campus ministers. Concelebrants included Father Ronald Nuzzi, who also delivered the keynote address; Father Vince Hawk, director of Newman Campus Ministry; and Father Steve Vellenga, director of the Diocesan Mission Office.
?As we undertake our ministry, we reflect on both our own call to witness the Gospel through our vocations as well as the myriad ways we serve and lead young people to live out their call from God in their lives. Our theme takes on an added significance as Pope Francis announced the theme of this October?s 15th Ordinary Time Assembly
