National Vocations Awareness Week

Please join the Passionists in celebrating National Vocation Awareness Week, November 3-9, 2024.

We invite you to participate in this meaningful, week-long event that calls Catholics across the United States to prayerfully reflect on, appreciate and promote vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and consecrated life.

As Passionists, we are especially grateful for the gift of our Charism, as given to us by our Holy Founder, St. Paul of the Cross. This Charism, the powerful witness of God’s love through the sufferings and death of Jesus, continues to guide our global Passionist community and our ministries today.

May this week inspire you, enrich your faith and motivate you to promote the gift of religious vocations in your community.

There are many stages of formation and discernment when considering a vocation to become a Passionist priest or brother. The Province Vocation Director helps you discover the direction in which the Holy Spirit is leading you. Our first desire is to begin to get to know you, who you are and your life experience thus far. It is also a time for you to get a better understanding of the Passionists. Thus, the conversations and the questions!

Want to know more about life as a religious sister, brother or priest? In these featured profiles and videos from the National Religious Vocations Conference, some of our newest Catholic religious sisters, brothers and priests will give you a glimpse of who they are, what gives them hope and what led them to their vocation.
