It takes many hands to produce VISION and provide NRVC’s extensive ongoing outreach to discerners, parishes, campus ministers, and vocation ministers.
In addition to our core team, the VISION Vocation Ministry has essential stakeholders that both serve and look to for support.
VISION has grown over the years into much more than the annual printed guide. Our website, VocationNetwork.org receives hundreds of thousands of visits each year and features a wealth of material for discerners and those in vocation ministry, including a comprehensive article index and many popular interactive features, including:
VISION’s reach is extensive. We are constantly working to engage discerners in new and varied ways: online, in print, at conferences, and via social networking. We feature several hundred VIDEOS of men’s and women’s communities and other participating organizations. We also produce short videos on prayer and discernment and religious life based on VISION articles. If your community has not submitted a short video to run alongside your VISION listing, we encourage you to do so to increase VISION reader engagement. VISION is also available in digital format online that can be viewed and shared. We also encourage you to post your events throughout the year to get the word out to potential candidates and increase your opportunity for one-on-one connections with discerners.
All of our outreach and engagement result in real numbers each year.
Many of these statistics are available to you in real time, particularly our Reader Demographics based on completed VISION profiles, and Reader Engagement for Advertisers found in the Advertiser Area. Here is a quick view of how to access that information.
