What is the role of vocation teams in encouraging vocations?
Vocation teams and the Vocations Office share a common mission of raising vocation awareness, educating various groups about their specific roles in encouraging vocations, and inviting people to consider whether or not God is calling them to priesthood, religious life, the diaconate, or lay ministry. Vocation teams sponsor events, update “vocation corners” (racks or tables where vocation information is made available), and serve as a first-line resource for people in the parish who have an interest in finding out about vocations. Teams often collaborate directly with the Vocations Office, particularly when the vocations director targets specific districts for “vocation visits.
