2024 Raising Vocations Collection

2024 Raising Vocations Collection

Why is the Diocese starting the Raising Vocations Collection?

The collection will support young people as they encounter Jesus. This collection will help us reach our Diocesan goal of 30 men in seminary formation by 2025.

How does your gift to the Raising Vocations Collection support Vocations?

This important collection supports ministries that help young men and women discover Christ and accompany them on their vocation journey. The collection is supporting ministries and is sending youth to events like Steubenville Conferences, Blessed Carlo Acutis Youth Day, SEEK conferences, and even more.

Vocations Events and other information may be found at the Diocesan website at: www.gbvocations.org.
