Quotations

“This responsibility cannot be carried out by solitary "vocations scapegoats," to use the terminology of "In Verbo Tuo." If vocation is for all, then all must be involved in mediating the call of Christ”

(Father Kevin Doran, National Coordinator of Diocesan Vocation Directors, 2000-2006)

Vocation Poster Designer Interviewed
matrix_vocations_posterOn November 17, Missy Scarlett, the designer of several "Year For Priests" posters will appear on the CatholicTV live talk show "This is the Day". One of Missy's best-known works is a vocations poster depicting a young, hip, priest in clerical robes which appears similar to the all-black outfit worn by "Neo" the character played by actor Keanu Reeves in the film "The Matrix". The black and white poster sold more than 1800 copies and was well-received by young people.

After the success of the Matrix-style vocations poster, Missy was asked to produce a poster for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis which shows a mosaic of Jesus crucified. Upon closer inspection, one can see that the mosaic is made up of individual portraits of every priest in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.  More information on Missy Scarlett and her works is available at www.truescarlett.com

Missy Scarlett's interview was held on Tuesday, November 17th live at 10:30AM (EST)., was streamed simultaneously at www.CatholicTV.com and will be available on the site's archives starting Tuesday night.
