Vocation Awareness Week

During the week of November 5-11, 2023, the nation and our diocese will once again celebrate Vocation Awareness Week. The theme of the diocesan celebration this year is “Sent to Proclaim the Gospel.” Even as Jesus sent his disciples to announce the kingdom, heal the sick, and proclaim good news to the poor, so the Lord continues to send out laborers to proclaim the good news of salvation to all people in the world today. “Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it, and say to them, ’The kingdom of God is at hand for you.’" Luke 10: 8-9. Men and women in every vocation are called to be first and foremost disciples of the Lord and co-workers in his vineyard.

The Vocation Office would like to encourage priests, deacons, faith formation and Catholic School teachers, and all Catholics to celebrate Vocation Awareness Week.
