The Lord calls each of one of us to live holy lives by entering into a unique relationship with Him by committing one’s life to one of the following particular vocations: Holy Orders (the priesthood and permanent diaconate), Consecrated Life (religious institutes, private & public associations of the faithful, secular institutes, and consecrated virgins), Married Life, and the Single Holy Life.

The Office of Vocations assists the faithful in discerning their vocations and has a particular mandate to promote vocations to the priesthood.

Prayer for Vocations

Heavenly Father,
bless your Church in the
Archdiocese of Edmonton
with an abundance of holy and zealous priests,
deacons, religious, and seminarians.

Give those You have called to the married state
and those You have chosen to live as
single persons in the world, the special graces
that their lives require.

Form us all in the likeness of Your Son
so that in Him, with Him, and through Him
we may love You more deeply
and serve You more faithfully,
always and everywhere.

With the virgin mother Mary we ask this
through Christ your Son.

Amen.
