Florham Park - Vocationist Fathers Community

In 1985, with the help of some friends, the Vocationist Fathers Vocationist Community had been blessed to have throughout the years, the Fathers started looking for a piece of land suited for the construction of two religious houses: a Vocationary for them and a House of Formation for the Vocationist Sisters. In 1986, once again, when all the avenues had already been unsuccessfully explored, God pleasantly surprised the Fathers. Through Mr. Lary Paragano, a dear friend, who had been helping the Fathers find a property, a gentleman of the Jewish faith, Jack Burstyn, let it be known that he was ready to donate 30 acres of land in Florham Park, New Jersey, for the purpose of building two religious houses for the Vocationist Fathers and Vocationist Sisters.

Fr. Mario Muccitelli, S.DV.		When Fr. Mario asked Mr. Burstyn what prompted him to make such an outstanding donation, his answer was: "Today I'm here talking to you because during the last World War, while I was in a concentration camp, everyone helped me to survive. That made me realize that we all cannot remain alive without each other's help. Right now, you need my help and I'm glad to give it to you".

"Thank you Jack"."You and your family have all the Vocationist Fathers' and Vocationist Sisters' prayers and gratitude!" replied Fr. Mario.

God, many times and in many ways has shown to be with the Vocationist Fathers and Sisters through his assistance. He opened many doors door for them and became visible through his gift of many devoted friends. Some of them both helped the Fathers and Sisters in building their House of Formation and are still actively engaged in the establishment and growth of a Trust Fund, The Shepherds of Youth, which is designed to support the religious, educational and social endeavors of the Vocationist Community.The Vocationist Fathers and Brothers live in community and take the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.
