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. - Pope Francis, Address to Seminarians and Novices, July 6, 2013

The Office of Vocations promotes vocation awareness and recruitment for the diocesan priesthood and religious life. This includes general information on the nature of a vocation, interviews, and discernment for interested persons, and guidance for those making a positive decision to enter a formation program of priesthood and religious life. This office also directs the recruitment and formation of diocesan seminarians.
