Called2Mission is a Catholic website dedicated to exploring the theme of personal vocation, with a special focus on engaging young Catholic adults. The site offers resources, reflections, and practical guidance aimed at helping individuals discover and live out their unique calling within the Church and the world.

Called2Mission includes information on discerning one’s mission, understanding the role of laity, and the importance of being co-responsible in the Church. It provides an encouraging and insightful space for young Catholics to deepen their understanding of how they can actively contribute to their faith community and society, rooted in a personal sense of purpose and God’s call.

Called2Mission.org is edited and managed by Tim Nichols, a Catholic layman living in the west of Ireland. He coordinates the Tine Catholic Leaders Network and he and his wife, Kathy are Irish coordinators for Follow Me, a Catholic discipleship training programme for 18-26 year olds run over 8 weekends. Tim acknowledges the use of AI to help research and develop this website.

In September 2025, Pope Leo canonised Bl. Carlos Acutis and Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati, two outstanding examples of lay men who lived their vocation to the full. May their intercession lead many lay men and women to seek to discern and respond to their Personal Vocation. St. Carlos Acutis pray for us. St. Pier Giorgio Frassati pray for us.
