​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.

​

This year, on Vocations Sunday, Pope Leo XIV offers us words of great encouragement:

​

"...listen to this voice! Listen to the voice of the Lord who invites you to a full and fruitful life, calling you to put your talents to use (cf. Mt 25:14-30) and to unite your limitations and weaknesses with the glorious cross of Christ.

 

Through the intimacy of His friendship, you will discover how to give of yourselves, whether through marriage, the priesthood, the permanent diaconate, or consecrated life."

​

​Every vocation is an immense gift from God, and so I encourage you spend time each day in prayer as you ask Him to help you 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,

Fr Craig.
