Disciple: “one who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another.” Merriam-Webster dictionary

At Catholic Recruiter Associates our trademark includes the Gospel of Matthew (4:20) : “At once they left their nets and followed Him.”  As we sat around a table one afternoon crafting our logo, this Gospel passage seemed to all of us to fit the weighty decision we ask people to make in coming to work for the Church. Often, we recruit people who are extraordinarily talented in their professions working in a secular organization. Many times, the position we would like them to consider does not provide much financial incentive as compared to their current remuneration. Clearly, something else motivates people to take a job in what is a very different environment from their past and not look back as they “drop their nets at once.” We think it is the same unflinching attitude which compelled the Disciples that draws people of Faith to turn away from the world to do God’s work with abundant passion and talent. Truly, they are making a commitment to “assist in spreading” the Good News. For this we all should be extremely grateful.
