Does Vocation Pathway work? After 15 years of working with more than 100 dioceses, we are confident that this is the only approach that works (and believe us, we’ve tried out a lot of ideas). Vocation Pathway does not include “all the things.” It doesn’t even use all the resources Vianney Vocations offers. Instead, it is laser-focused on personally working with young men.

Could we do this on our own? Thanks be to God, many dioceses already have in place various components of Vocation Pathway. But to implement the full strategy year after year, most dioceses need help. Vianney Vocations augments your staff to provide the manpower and expertise to run the “back end.” We help everything stay on track and run smoothly so you can focus on what matters most: working with the men. And there will be a LOT of men!

How much does this cost? Vocation Pathway costs roughly the same as one seminarian. But that won’t matter, because our approach not only pays for the program itself, but contributes to the formation of the new seminarians that will result. In the end, the diocese will experience a net gain in funding.

Will this conflict with our current efforts? No. Vocation Pathway doesn’t replace the good things you already have going on in your diocese. Have parish vocation teams? Run a fantastic summer camp? Do an annual fundraiser? Keep doing them! Vocation Pathway unifies your efforts. In some cases, you will naturally let go of ineffective initiatives, but most of the time, Vocation Pathway will complement current strengths.
