"Every vocation in the Church is at the service of holiness...." (John Paul II)
Welcome to the Vocations Web page for the Diocese of Raleigh!
God is always calling men and women to offer their lives in service to the holiness of the People of God. The diocese offers assistance to those who seek direction regarding the specific service of holiness called a church vocation, be it diocesan priesthood, religious priesthood, the consecrated life, the permanent diaconate, or full-time professional lay ecclesial ministry.
Our respective offices and personnel offer assistance in vocational awareness, discernment, education, and referral. All inquiries are confidential. To visit one of our church vocation pages, please click the appropriate link below.
Thank you for visiting us. Please pray for vocations, especially for service to the people of the Diocese of Raleigh.
