Sister Sue Weetenkamp, R.S.M.

How long have you been involved in vocation ministry?

About six years. Up until this past May I was co-chair of Region 4 (the Maryland-Virginia area).

How is your vocation ministry organized? Do you work with a team? 

I work with a team of six to cover the South Central Region for the Sisters of Mercy.

Has belonging to NRVC been helpful to you?

From the convocation speakers and the opportunities to rub shoulders with others, to the personal touch Sister Debbie adds through member services, NRVC is my "go-to" for any questions about what is going on in the larger world of vocations.

What vocation project or projects have been most rewarding or fruitful?

Several years ago NRVC's Region 4 worked closely together to provide two years of "Calling all Fifth Graders." Working with others in the region and the archdiocesan school authorities was very rewarding when the day for the fifth graders finally arrived. The energy was overwhelming.

What do you enjoy the most in vocation ministry? 

Walking with an individual woman through the process of discerning of religious life.
