In this jubilee year of 2025, decreed by Pope Francis, the Vocations Work of the Diocese of Montreal (OVDM) is renewing itself to better serve discerning candidates, donors and the entire community. We warmly thank you for your fervent prayers and generous donations in support of the pastoral care of priestly vocations. Together, let's continue this essential mission!

A multilingual vocations campaign

Starting January 25, 2025, our new vocations campaign will be launched in parishes, missions and places of worship across the diocese. For the first time, it will be deployed in three languages: French, English and Spanish. Discover posters, leaflets and a special message from Archbishop Christian Lépine to inspire and invite you to support priestly vocations.

New premises, new possibilities

The OVDM is moving to the first floor of the cathedral residence to provide an accessible space for both our administrative and pastoral activities. From mid-February 2025, make an appointment at 514-523-3338 to visit our premises and meet our team:

• Mr. Forand - Accountant
• Mr. Cardin - Planned Giving Manager
• Ms Blouin - Administrative Assistant

Mass for priestly vocations

On Sunday, February 2, 2025 at 5 p.m., join us for a special mass for priestly vocations, presided over by Mgr Christian Lépine at the Basilique-Cathédrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde. Led by the Ex-Cathedra youth group, the celebration will be followed by a time of adoration for vocations.

Add your prayer to our mission

As pilgrims of hope, let us join forces to support those discerning a vocation to the priesthood and those who accompany them. Your prayers and donations enable us to ensure their integral formation.
