Is Your Parish "Vocationally Aware?"

The following came from a vocations summit in the Archdiocese of Baltimore:

These 8 points for establishing a ‘vocationally aware’ parish were highlighted by a pastor who currently has 6 parishioners in religious discernment:


-Eucharistic Adoration
-Active Youth Group
-Happy Priests
-Opportunities for youth to connect to the greater church: retreats, world youth day, attending archdiocesan events, ordinations, connecting to the pope
-A Place/Role for everyone
-Family Friendly Church: parish picnics, annual events
-Openness/support of homeschooling
-Seminarian Presence
