Activity ideas in the categories of Prayer, Awareness & Education, Youth, and Affirmation
Elements of vocation-producing parish
How to invite young people to discern their vocation
Examples and positive impact of vocation-producing parishes and dioceses
Information on statistics showing that most vocations to priesthood and religious life come from parishes where lay-people and schools are involved in this ministry on a regular basis.
Valuable information about the role that your parish community has in the work of promoting, accompanying and maintaining vocations in the young people and families.
