Create a Catechetical Program that Produces Vocations!

Did you know that year after year, studies find that close to 75% of the newly ordained first considered being a priest before 18 years of age? This statistic emphasizes the absolute necessity to encourage vocations early in life. To inspire more youth to hear God’s call, Vocation Ministry created a fresh and innovative approach to present the joy of holy vocations to our youth in their everyday environment during their catechism classes.

The new education-based workshops are informational and fast-paced based on the proven success of Vocation Ministry’s parish-based workshops. It’s designed to encourage, inspire, and equip Catechetical Leaders to create a vocation-producing catechetical program that can inspire children to think about what God is calling them to do in this life. This workshop can be held in person or virtually and is typically 1-3 hours in length.

Join us for a workshop designed just for YOU! It includes:

• Introduction to vocations and Vocation Ministry
• Why do we need to promote vocations in every classroom?
