Holy Orders

If you are interested in and feel that God may be calling you to become a priest, deacon, or religious in consecrated service to God's people, please visit the Diocese of Raleigh Office of Vocations. You may also reach out to our parish priests directly. 

If you would like to prayerfully support someone in the Diocese on their path of vocational discernment, please reach out to our Vocations Ministry or check out our 'Adopt-a-Seminarian' program.

Father, in your plan for our salvation you provide shepherds for your people. Fill your Church with the spirit of courage and love. Give the Church more priests, worthy ministers for your altars and ardent but gentle servants of the gospel. Grant also to us an increase in vocations to the religious life. May more of your people respond to your call in a spirit of joyful generosity. May they serve your people in love by following in the footsteps of Christ your Son and provide by their way of life a convincing sign of your kingdom.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.

Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.

Amen.
