The Vocations Office launched the pastoral year August 15 with its first pilgrimage in honour of the Holy Family on the theme: "Vocations are everyone's business!"

This applies to all types of vocations. It takes a whole city, family and faith community to train persons of consecrated life, deacons, married couples and diocesan priests. These days, we stress in a particular way vocations to the priesthood during the Annual Collection for the Œuvre des vocations du Diocèse de Montréal (OVDM).

Please will find listed below various events inviting you to pray for the “Lord of the harvest” in the company of various pastoral respondants for future priests and seminarians. Who are tomorrow’s priests? How can we support them spiritually and financially?

You are all cordially invited to each activity. Thank you for your fervent prayers and your generous gifts to support our priests on a personal level.
