2025 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 further reach our Diocesan goal of calling forth and forming 35 or more men in seminary formation by 2028.
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 St. Carlo Acutis Youth Day, SEEK conferences, and even more.

What attracts people to Catholicism?
The Eucharist: Many converts are drawn to the Catholic Church because of the belief in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. This belief is often reinforced through personal experiences during Eucharistic adoration.

June Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation
God expresses His divine will in the ancient law of the Old Testament. Then, God enters human history directly through the person of Jesus, who is the Son of God and one with God in a unique way. In turn, Jesus gives us an enduring way to encounter his presence in what the church now calls the sacraments.
In common things —water, oil, bread, wine, words, touch, a ring, a promise — we meet the holy presence of God. Oh, the beauty of our Catholic faith.

Biking for Babies – Renewing the Culture of Life – July 12th through July 20th
Biking for Babies is an organization that seeks to renew the culture of life by 1) forming young adults into missionaries of the Gospel of life, 2) increasing awareness for pregnancy resource centers (PRCs), and 3) raising financial and spiritual support for pregnant mothers in need.
Since 2009, B4B has formed 250+ young adults in the Gospel of life, raised awareness for 150+ PRCs, and given over $2M to support families nationwide. Our missionaries go through formation from March to August, but in July, we have our National Ride, during which 9 different teams bike 600+ miles on 9 different routes across the nation to raise money and awareness for PRCs.
Each missionary, whether they are a rider or a support crew member (those who serve the riders) has a fundraising goal and is raising money themselves. Money can be donated to B4B year round, but for it to go to a specific missionary’s goal, the donations are accepted from March to August.
My name is Gretchen Ortner. I live in Appleton, but I grew up in Kaukauna and my mom is a teacher at St John’s, Lisa Ortner. I am also a Biking for Babies missionary.
