Vocations are integral to the life of the Church. The vocation of marriage produces religious vocations, and religious vocations are the human means for the entry point of all Catholics into a grace-filled sacramental life. Fostering strong and courageous vocations in the modern world is the lifeblood of the future of the Church. 

Research supports the idea that parish or education-based Vocation Ministry is crucial. Studies show that the majority of young men consider a religious vocation between 6 and 18 years of age.

Vocation Ministry offers all the tools a priest, parishioner, or educator could need to engage youth during these critical formation years.
