National Vocation Awareness Week

November 3 – 9, 2026

Bulletin or Flocknote Quote:

National Vocation Awareness Week (NVAW) is an annual week-long celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States dedicated to promote vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and consecrated life through prayer and education.

Those called to religious vocations devote their lives to embracing and sharing God’s love full-time. In doing so, they have the power to change lives and transform communities.

We are called to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particular vocations. Following are some useful resources for celebrating Vocation Awareness Week at your parish.
