Every Christian has a vocation.  Most people are called to marriage or a single life, but some are called  to dedicated service in the Church.  This page focuses on men and women from Our Lady of Refuge who answered the call to dedicated Church service.   Some grew up in our parish.  Others became parishioners while attending college, serving in the military or working in or near Long Beach.  Each person has his or her unique story.
