Vocation Directors: Leading the Call to Vocations
As a vocation director, you carry the responsibility of guiding the future of your diocese. You are the heart of this mission — called to inspire, accompany, and sustain vocations, especially to the priesthood.
Vocation Ministry partners with vocation directors like you to activate priests, engage parishioners, and equip your diocese with the proven tools and strategies that foster a thriving culture of vocations.
A Call to Action
Across the Church, the need for holy vocations has never been greater.
Over the past decade, seminarians and priestly ordinations have declined, leaving many dioceses searching for ways to reignite the call.
The solution begins where vocations are found — in our parishes.
When priests and parishioners are supported, confident, and equipped to accompany potential discerners, everything changes.
Without that support, the discerner funnel can remain empty, no matter how hard you work.
That is where Vocation Ministry comes in.
Our process helps vocation directors build the structure, confidence, and collaboration needed to fill the discerner funnel and grow the next generation of priests, religious, and holy marriages.
The Vocation Ministry Blueprint
Our proven, prayerful process equips dioceses to build vibrant discernment communities. Built around your diocesan reality, the Blueprint combines data, coaching, and workshops to foster lasting vocations.
Foundation Assessment
Understand your diocese’s context through a detailed evaluation. Define goals, identify collaborators, and plan with proven strategies tailored to your needs.
Personalized Coaching
Equip yourself with ongoing, one-on-one support to lead with confidence, implement initiatives like Called By Name, and engage your parishes effectively.
Formation Workshops
Inspire priests and laity with customized workshops offering practical tools to build a vocation culture, from prayer activities to youth engagement.
Data Modeling
Leverage diocesan-specific data to project priest retirements, seminarian needs, and ordination goals, ensuring informed, strategic planning.
Transforming Dioceses, Inspiring Vocations
Our partnerships have significantly strengthened vocation efforts, fostering a substantial rise in seminarians and discerners across dioceses. This graph highlights the remarkable growth achieved within two years, driven by the Vocation Ministry Blueprint Model.
We Deliver Measurable Results
Denver received 900 Called By Name submissions this year. Jefferson City, a partner diocese with one-seventh the Catholic population, saw a response rate 347 percent higher after training priests and laity.
A Tucson Transformation
In 2023, the Diocese of Tucson had just one seminarian. Through our Blueprint Model, we partnered with the diocese and Fr. Alan Valencia to build a vibrant discerner pipeline. In two years, Tucson grew to eight seminarians, with eight more in discernment.
The bishop called us to say:
“Thank you. Our discerner funnels are working!”
