"Becoming a priest or a man or woman religious is not primarily our own decision.... Rather it is the response to a call and to a call of love."

Mission
Guided by the Holy Spirit, Vocation Ministry ignites a vibrant culture of vocations. Inspired by Christ’s call to ‘Come, Follow Me,’ we unite with dioceses to train, equip, and encourage vocation directors, priests, and laity. Together, we cultivate and nurture vocations to the priesthood, consecrated life, and sacramental marriage, fostering a response that yields a hundredfold harvest.
Vision
To create an environment that encourages and allows men and women to easily say “Yes” to God’s call in their lives to the priesthood, consecrated life, or marriage.
