100% Focused on Increasing Vocations

The mission of Vianney Vocations is to renew the Church by inspiring a new generation of priestly and religious vocations.

We are a team of communications experts, committed to Jesus and His Church, who help Vocation Offices to effectively reach young Catholics and inspire them to open their hearts to God’s call.

Since 2009, Vianney Vocations has focused solely on promoting priestly and religious vocations, working with more than 100 Vocation Offices.

Committed to Renewal

Our goal is the same as yours: to create a culture in which all Catholics—from children to adults—view the priesthood and religious life as worthy vocations to serve Christ and His Church.

We believe that the the basic, underlying condition for an increase in vocations is committed Christian discipleship. Only when young people fully give their lives to Jesus will they be truly open to His call on their lives.

From these disciples, we believe God is calling a sufficient number of future priests and religious who are “ardent yet gentle heralds of the Gospel.” But it is up to the whole Church to amplify God’s call.

GETTING STARTED WITH

VIANNEY VOCATIONS

If you are a Vocation Director, the first step is a phone call to talk about your diocesan situation and the needs of the Vocation Office.

For many projects, we can work via phone, video call, and email. For larger engagements, we often begin with an in-person meeting to get to know you, your staff, and the diocese.

In all our work, we always emphasize the dignity of the priesthood and the spiritual nature of God’s call.

Our aim is to help you attract spiritually healthy men who will serve God’s people faithfully.
