Vocation Promoters' Encounter in Johannesburg, South Africa


Sister Maria Gisela “Leng” Lapez, a Pauline missionary in Johannesburg, South Africa, participated in the Vocation Promoters' Encounter together with a group of priests and sisters in the Diocese of Johannesburg. Many young people attended the vocation weekend retreat. 

Sister Leng said, “Most of the young boys in our group will enter either the diocesan, religious priesthood or brotherhood. The girls are the ones who are still too young to enter the religious life. But they already have the desire and continue attending our monthly formation. The retreat is our end of the year activity for those who are deciding already or are regularly attending.


She thanks everyone for their prayers and expresses her gratitude to all those who attended and participated in the program.


If you think God might be calling you to the priesthood or religious life, and would like to experience firsthand what this kind of life is, Sister Leng is inviting you to their regular vocation encounter.
