Vocation Station FAQ
Why such a high-quality piece of church furniture?
People pay attention to quality. And because of the importance of vocations—especially when the number of priests, religious and even marriages continue to fall—we need to address the topic with the degree of excellence it deserves. We as a Church need to do a much better job presenting the vocation options for faithful Catholic men and women.
What is the "Discernment Books" option?
Include the four best books on discerning a Catholic vocation:
- To Save a Thousand Souls (on priesthood)
- Discerning Religious Life (for women)
- A Living Sacrifice (men’s religious life)
- A Priest in the Family (for parents)
With this option, you receive six copies of each book—a $462 value for $270. In addition, your parish automatically receives a 25% discount on future book orders.
To accommodate the books, the base of your Vocation Station will have a bookshelf area instead of doors.
Do vocations warrant this much emphasis?
Here’s the way we look at it: aside from the decision to follow Jesus, your vocation is the most important decision you will ever make. Every parish in America should be helping its members, especially young people, to listen to God’s call. And more than that, we should be equipping older adults already in their vocations to encourage the next generation.
Is this a niche product for youth?
No, the Vocation Station is for all parishioners, not just teens and young adults. It contains materials for children, parents, and older adults, too (because even grandparents can foster and pray for vocations). The Church teaches that encouraging vocations is everyone’s business: “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.” Canon #233.1

What good will books and brochures do, anyway?
The solution to the vocation crisis is discipleship—offering Jesus our whole hearts and lives, then following where he leads. The parishes that produce vocations have faithful families and warm, enthusiastic priests who bring youth to Christ and accompany them as they discern their vocations. One-on-one invitation and mentorship is absolutely essential. That said, in the typical parish, there is a lot of confusion surrounding the priesthood, religious life, and even marriage. People need good information. If people have bad or incomplete information, they are likely to make bad decisions. Good booklets and brochures aren’t the complete answer to our vocation crisis—but they sure do help. And the alternative, in many cases, is to offer nothing.
Is there a donation box included?
No, because we believe it’s a normal function of the parish to provide its members with education on all Catholic vocations. However, if funding is a concern, many pastors find that donors are eager to fund the promotion of vocations.
When will I receive my Vocation Station?
Production time is approximately six weeks. We’ll let you know via email when your display is on its way.
How does the Vocation Station ship? Is it hard to assemble?
The Vocation Station ships in two boxes with everything included. Assembly is easy. The shelving unit sits on a table or may be mounted on the wall with the included hardware. The arched top slides into place and is held by five screws. The acrylic sign is installed using high-quality aluminum hardware with pre-drilled holes.
