Discover the path God has prepared for you

Every person has a vocation—a unique calling from God to love and serve. For some, that means marriage and family life; for others, it may mean priesthood, religious life, or dedicated single life. Whatever your path, God is already at work in your heart. This page offers guidance, encouragement, and tools to help you listen, discern, and respond.

What is a vocation?

More than a career; your life’s calling

A vocation is not simply what you do, but who you are called to become. It’s the unique way you are invited to love, serve, and grow in holiness. Everyone has a vocation—whether that’s marriage, priesthood, religious life, or dedicated single life. Your vocation is how God invites you to live your faith in the world.

Speak to someone

The way, the truth, and the life

If you’re thinking seriously about your vocation, reach out to someone you trust. Your parish priest, a youth worker, or the diocesan vocations director can help you talk through your questions and explore the next step. Sometimes, just speaking the desire aloud is the beginning of real clarity.
