VMBlueprint in Action
Our four-step process—Foundation Assessment, Personalized Coaching, Formation Workshops, and Data Modeling—equips dioceses to foster vibrant discernment communities. Watch how each step brings lasting change.
Foundation Assessment
Shape your vision. Start with intention.
We begin with an evaluation of your current landscape to understand your unique context and priorities.
Areas We Explore:
- Define your goals
- Identify key collaborators
- Gather tools for planning
- Review proven methods for comparable dioceses
What Sets Us Apart
We adapt our recommendations to your diocesan reality—no templates, no generic checklists.
Personalized Coaching
Ongoing support to strengthen what works and build new systems.
Our team offers one-on-one guidance to your vocation director, equipping him to lead with clarity and confidence for the future.
Topics often include:
- Vocation-focused parish priest
- Called By Name initiative
- Increase collaboration among laity
- Discerner Funnel-Engagement and Activities
- Vocation calendar planning
What Sets Us Apart
You’re never on your own—our coaching is relational, consistent, and built for long-term fruit.
Formation Workshop
Equip your priests and laity to act.
Every partnership includes two cornerstone workshops to inspire and empower your parish communities to cultivate vocations.
Priest Workshop Highlights: (often hosted during convocations)
- US & Diocesan data insights
- 7 strategies for vocation culture
- Tools to invite and accompany discerners
- Collaborate effectively with laity
Parishioner Workshop Highlights: (typically 4–6 weeks later)

What Sets Us Apart
Each workshop is customized and offers practical tools priests and laity can use immediately.
Data Modeling
Make informed decisions with vocation-specific insights.
This assessment tool evaluates diocesan data to project future needs and shape your long-term strategy. We cannot fix what we cannot measure.
Key insights include:
- Priest retirements & impact
- Seminarian class size needs
- Ordination projections
- Priest workload forecasts
- Discern-out rate significance
- Planning for various scenarios
What Sets Us Apart
We uniquely use diocesan-specific discern-out and retirement data to give you goals and insights grounded in your reality.
