Who will be invited, and how many are expected to attend?
We expect there to be between 1000 and 1200 delegates attending the Congress from all over Canada and the U.S., with guests coming from Mexico, the Antilles, and from Rome. Because one of the goals of the Congress is to awaken the whole Church to its responsibility to promote and nurture vocations to the ordained ministry and consecrated life, there will be a wide sweep of invitees, including those both directly and indirectly concerned with vocations promotion: bishops, major superiors, religious and diocesan vocation directors, seminary and religious formators, deacons and members of secular institutes, seminarians, novices, the newly-ordained and recently-professed, parish priests, youth ministers, campus ministers, educators, young adults, parents, Serrans, Knights of Columbus, other lay associations that provide human, spiritual, and financial support to vocation efforts.
