Through the sacrament of Baptism, each person receives his or her “vocation,” a call from God to be holy and to serve Him. This call to holiness and service is lived in the single state (in certain cases), in married life, as an ordained man, or as a consecrated person.
The Office of Vocations promotes the universal call to holiness of all Christians and highlights the unique calls to priesthood and the religious life.
Father Jonathan Raia, Vocation Director, recruits, counsels and assists seminarians during their formation to the priesthood. The office also offers programs and retreats for men and women who are interested in discerning a call to the priesthood or religious life. Finally, the office works to foster a “vocation culture” throughout the Diocese.
