Formed with the intention to identify, foster, encourage, and support vocations through prayer, invitation, education, and action, the Vocations Apostolate Ministry invites others to join us in prayer supporting those discerning religious vocations, especially most holy priesthood.

We provide vocation materials and plan events that move our support of vocations into action.
 

We act by encouraging families to promote vocations in the home,  involving parishioners through announcements and vocation-centric prayers, hosting diocesan discernment dinners for young men inquiring about the journey to priesthood, and sending cards to the seminarians (birthday) and priests (anniversary of ordination) of our diocese.

Please consider supporting all our priests, seminarians and deacons by following the daily Vocations Prayer Calendar or picking up a Prayer Support for Vocations Home Kit!  Both are available in the Parish vestibule.

Digital Prayer Calendar available for viewing or download on Diocesan website:

WHAT IS A VOCATION?
Many Catholics don't know about the process of becoming a Priest, Deacon or Religious. A vocation is a calling from God & takes prayer & discernment to understand what His will is for our life. A vocation to the sacrament of Holy Orders cannot be truly discerned without the guidance of the Church. The Vocations Apostolate meets with the pastor once a month to discuss ways of promoting & supporting vocations at Saint Joseph & in the Diocese of Colorado Springs.

TRAVELING CHALICE
Father Gus has installed a New Traveling Prayer Chalice program for our parish. The chalice has been consecrated for vocations & Bishop Golka blessed the chalice.  Families are encouraged to take the chalice home for a a week & pray for the different provided intentions: Bishops, Priests, Deacons, Religious & Seminarians.
