About Vianney Vocations
Who We Are & What We Do
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.
foster vocations
“It is the duty of the whole Christian community to foster vocations so that the needs of the sacred ministry are sufficiently met in the entire Church.”
~Code of Cannon Law #233.1

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.
