Office of Vocations
Diocese of Victoria
The Vocation Office promotes vocations to priesthood throughout the diocese. It also serves men whom are interested in discerning a vocation by means of retreats, discernment meetings, and providing information. The vocation director works individually with men discerning a vocation to diocesan priesthood, especially through the seminary application process. The Office also works with priests, religious, deacons and laity to raise awareness about the need to work and pray for an increase in vocations.
“To the extent that we teach young people to pray well, we will be cooperating with God’s call… Young people, if they know how to pray, can be trusted to know what to do with God’s call.”
-His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI
