“If you are what you should be, you will set the world on fire.” – St. Catherine of Siena

The Diocesan Vocations Office exists to build up a culture of vocation across the Archdiocese of Birmingham. Through the Clergy Training Fund, we support our seminarians and men in formation to be permanent deacons, as well as providing for the ongoing formation of clergy.

Through our vocation promotion work, we engage with schools, university chaplaincies and parishes. We produce a range of prayer materials to help build your relationship with Christ.

We also administer the diocesan Guild of St. Stephen, supporting altar servers in their commitment to God and his people.

Diocesan Prayer for Vocations

Lord Jesus, send labourers into your harvest.

Inspire, in the hearts of your people, vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and religious life.

Bless our families with a spirit of generosity.

May those whom you call to the priesthood, diaconate and religious life have the courage to give themselves to your Church as co-operators in your work.

Amen.
