In our corporate mission, the National Vocations Awareness Division of the J.S. Paluch Company continues to promote vocation awareness with our partners in the National Coalition for Church Vocations—the National Conference of Diocesan Vocation Directors, the National Religious Vocation Conference, the Priests of the Sacred Heart, the Rogationist Fathers, and the USA Council of Serra International. This year we look forward to further collaboration on quality educational and inspirational materials, which encourage men and women of faith to follow Christ in service to the people of God.

We continue to work with pastoral leaders and vocation directors across the United States and Canada as they carry on the mission to create a culture of vocations. In 2007 we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our annual vocation seminars, which bring together diocesan and religious vocation leaders to support their ministry and provide an opportunity for collaboration.

With you, we pray for all priests, deacons, sisters, brothers, members of secular institutes, and lay ministers, who have responded to Christ’s call and the challenge of living the gospel. We pray, too, that more men and women will join them with compassionate hearts and willing spirits.
