Purpose

The Office of Vocations helps raise awareness and encourages a positive response to the call to religious life and the diocesan priesthood. The department is also concerned with the formation of candidates accepted for studies leading to ordination of the priesthood for service in this diocese.

Are YOU being called?

All of us, as baptized Christians, have a vocation, a call from God to do something special, to be someone special. We are graced by God with gifts and talents to serve God and the Church through a particular lifestyle. Some are called to be Priests, Sisters, Brothers or Deacons; others are called to be husbands, wives, parents or to live a single life. Through prayer and reflection and talking with others we will be able to know God’s call and live out the Gospel in service of others.

"As he was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed him."   - Matthew 4:18-20
