Vocations Resources

The Goals of the Director of Parish Vocations include: 

1) To begin a conversation within the parish about priestly and religious vocations
2) To enable parish leadership to identify potential priestly vocations 
3) To educate the parish leadership in the qualities desirable in a candidate for the priesthood
4) To invite and encourage those men and women who have been identified and are interested to follow that call by God…

Starting a Parish Vocation Program may seem a daunting task - especially given today's climate and the drawbacks parishes now face promoting, recruiting and developing future leadership for the vocations.

But, it isn't an impossible task. An effective program that fosters a vocation-friendly environment of encouragement, discussion, education and example - is key to helping those who may have heard God's call but like Samuel at first, may not yet understand what it means to hear and heed that call.
