  • While all vocations can lead to God, the primary focus of the Vocations Ministry is to generate and support religious vocations for priests, nuns, sisters, deacons, brothers and monks in all religious orders.  The St. Joseph Vocations Ministry serves and supports the parish in developing and maintaining an environment that enables people of all ages to hear and be open to the call from God as they discern their life’s vocation.  This is accomplished through prayer, communications and the engagement of all members of our faith community.
