Somascan Fathers and Brothers (C.R.S.)
"I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you." Jn14:18
Welcome to the Vocation Office page
SOMASCAN FATHER, MORE THAN A PRIEST
A SOMASCAN FATHER WILL SERVE THE ORPHANS WHO NEED A FATHER, A ROLE MODEL, AN EXAMPLE, A MENTOR.
AS PRIEST WE CAN GIVE WHAT WE ALL NEED: GOD THE FATHER, THROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.
THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL GIVE ITS GIFTS TO ALL THE PEOPLE WE SERVE
Thanks for visiting our web site. I am happy to assist you in discerning how God may be calling you to service in the Church as either a Somascan Father or a Brother. I am available to answer your questions and journey with you at this important time of your life. I look forward to being of service to you in your discernment.
Father Remo Zanatta, CRS (Vocation Director)

COME AND SERVE WITH US The Church has entrusted the Order of the Somascan Fathers with the important mission of proclaiming to the world that God is Our Father, through his Son Jesus Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit, and the example of Saint Jerome Emiliani, Universal Patron Saint of the Orphans. In order that others may share in this Apostolic mission, our Order continually welcomes new members.
WHAT CAN I DO?
GOD MIGHT BE CALLING YOU TO BE SENT INTO THE WORLD TO PROCLAIM “GOD THE FATHER” TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ALONE, TO THE ORPHANS AND TO THE YOUTH IN NEED OF A FATHER
