  • What is a Vocation Ministry

    • A parish vocation ministry ensures that every parish fosters an environment where each baptized person can joyfully explore the potential of God’s call in his or her life by providing resources for prayer and discernment.


      Why Have a Vocation Ministry?

      IN THE UNITED STATES…

      *The average age of a diocesan parish priest is 67 YEARS OLD

      *42 dioceses DID NOT ordain a new priest in 2021

      *Over the past 50 years, the number of sisters has declined 74%

      *Catholic marriages have dropped 67% since 1970

      These startling statistics highlight the importance and absolute
      necessity to encourage vocations to the priesthood, religious life, and sacramental marriage.

    • Diocesan Prayer for Vocations

      Father, since you breathed life into us, you had a plan for the Body of Christ, the Church.  From the beginning, you have called men and women into roles of joyful sacrifice and generosity for the sake of your Kingdom.  The world is in need of more souls confident to cry out with a resounding yes to your call and invitation.  We ask that from our families you would inspire Sons and Daughters to offer their lives back to the Church as priests and religious, especially here in the Diocese of Rockford.

      Drawing near to the Heart of your Son, we pray: Jesus, I trust in You.   Amen.

      – Fr. Robert Blood
