God calls each person uniquely, but the Church recognises four main states of life as vocations:

Marriage: A sacred covenant between a man and woman, open to life and rooted in mutual love and service. Marriage is a sign of Christ’s love for the Church, and a way of growing in holiness through family life.

Priesthood: A life dedicated to sacramental ministry, preaching the Gospel, and spiritual fatherhood. Priests are ordained to serve the people of God and act in the person of Christ.

Religious Life: Lived in community, this vocation includes sisters, brothers, and religious priests. They take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, offering their lives for the Church and the world.

Dedicated Single Life: Some are called to serve without marrying or entering religious life. This vocation may be lived in the world through work, service, and deep prayer, often with great flexibility and freedom.

Each vocation is a call to holiness and mission—different in form, but united in purpose.
