On November 8, the Carrefour Intervocationnel<\/i> hosted the 2025 Vocational Fair at the Saint Joseph\u2019s Oratory, a renowned gathering and prayer site. The day featured testimonies, informational booths, and an opening address by Bishop Alain Faubert of Valleyfield.<\/p>\n\n
Many religious communities\u2014apostolic and contemplative alike\u2014took the opportunity to present their vocations at interactive booths. Exhibitors also included lay movements such as the Focolari and Knights of Columbus, secular institutes, a religious publishing house, youth movements like Zil\u00e9os and Camp Beaus\u00e9jour, a pilgrimage agency, and a religious museum. Visitors were offered a rich diversity of contributions, each vocation radiating its own unique light.<\/p>\n\n
A significant part of the day centered on nine testimonies from individuals representing a wide variety of vocational callings: members from a monastic community, a diaconal couple, an apostolic sister, a married couple, a consecrated virgin aspirant, a consecrated member of a secular institute, and a priest. Throughout the day, they shared their experiences of vocation, reflecting on both the joys and challenges of their respective states of life.<\/p>\n\n
The day concluded with Mass at the Brother Andr\u00e9 Chapel in the basilica of the Oratory. Concelebrated by seven priests, the liturgy was beautifully accompanied by music and celebrated by a prayerful and engaged assembly.<\/p>\n\n
Over 250 participants responded to the invitation of the Carrefour Intervocationnel, visiting booths, listening to testimonies, and contributing to the joyful and dynamic atmosphere of the event.<\/p>\n\n
The Carrefour extends heartfelt thanks to all visitors, the dedicated team of volunteers, and everyone who helped make the day a memorable occasion.<\/p>\n\n
