Note to Vocation Offices: The cost for packets is $7.50 if we mail to parishes on your behalf (this includes postage). Just email us a mailing list, and we’ll send you a cover letter that you can revise.

The ideal “early date” for sending to parishes is around March 20, to arrive 3 weeks before Easter. The ideal “later date” to mail is around April 9, to arrive right after Easter.
