VOCATION TESTIMONIES

Fr. Peter Schultz, CMF
Wurzburg, Germany

How did your missionary vocation start?
I met Fr. Schweiger, during World War II. I became his altar boy and talked with him often.

How was your vocation discernment?
I visited the seminarians of the Claretian community in Frankfurt. Their simple, austere way of life and their fraternal love attracted me very much.

What was the reaction of your parents when you told them that you wanted to become a Claretian?
It was good, no problem.

Do you think it is worth to become missionary nowadays?
Yes, of course, in view of the many challenges that the world presents today.

What would you advise these young people who are now in their vocation discernment?
To feel free and full of optimism, and to realize that, the vocation to be an apostle, a missionary, is the most needed nowadays.
