Welcome sticky icon

Welcome to the vocations website for the Diocese of Evansville. Hopefully this site will help you to better understand who God is calling you to be and how you can help others to recognize their call. Our Pray Him Forward and Pray Her Forward campaigns are intended to promote a culture of vocations. We are not going at this alone, but we are moving forward as a community seeking to understand how God is calling us to participate in the building of His Kingdom. On this site you can find some frequently asked questions, links to various religious communities and ways to gain clarity for yourself and for others. Remember, a vocation is not just about doing what God calls us to do, but it’s about finding fulfillment and responding to the relationship that God extends to us. Whether you are a friend, a parent, a grandparent or a complete stranger, this website can offer you some ways of helping others to come to know their vocation and your own.

Year for Priests

Icon for Year for Priests

  

Pope Benedict XVI has declared a “Year for Priests” beginning with the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 19, 2009. The year will conclude in Rome with an international gathering of priests with the Holy Father from June 9-11, 2010. With the announcement of this Year for Priests, the Pope has declared St. John Vianney the Universal Patron of Priests on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the death of the Curé d’Ars.
