Competition — meet a Religious and tell their story
A competition is being held in the run up to Vocation Expo 2009. Participants are being asked to interview a religious sister, brother or priest and create the most interesting biography in the medium of their choice. Some exciting prizes have been donated for the competition and the winners will be announced during the Expo. More information can be found at the competition page.
Facebook and Bebo
A Facebook group has been created to publicise the competition and the Vocation Expo three day event. It is also hoped that entries to the competition can be received via this Facebook group and that the winning entries will be publicised on the group. The Group is closed, moderated to ensure age appropriate content and filtered to remove inappropriate content. To join the group:

- Search for the "Vocation Expo" group.
- Click on "Request to Join".

A Bebo group has similarly been created, again the group name is "Vocation Expo". Please use either or both groups as you see fit.
