​Welcome

Thank you for visiting the Vocations website for the Archdiocese of Birmingham. I pray that, whatever your reason for visiting us today, God might bless your search.

​

On Vocations Sunday this year, Pope Leo XIV shared these words of encouragement:

 

“I therefore have the joy of praying with you and all the People of God for vocations, especially those to the priesthood and consecrated life. The Church has such a great need for them!

 

"It is important that young men and women on their vocational journey find acceptance, listening and encouragement in their communities, and that they can look up to credible models of generous dedication to God and to their brothers and sisters. 

 

"And to young people, I say: “Do not be afraid! Accept the invitation of the Church and of Christ the Lord!” 

​

I encourage you to ask God to help you every day to discern what He is calling you to. Pray for the grace to respond with courage, with faith and with love to whatever He is asking of you. May the Lord Jesus Christ and in the intercession of Our Lady, grant you the wisdom to hear and answer His call.

 

Please join me daily in praying the Diocesan Prayer for Vocations.

​

With my prayers and every good wish,​
