A note from the NRVC team

We invite you to support the National Religious Vocation Conference (NRVC) and help to provide unparalleled resources, professional guidance, and a vibrant network of unwavering hope for vocation ministers today and a hopeful vision for the future of religious life.

Together with our National Board, our Leadership Team has set a bold vision for 2025-2028—one rooted in collaboration, intercultural dialogue, and a deep commitment to nurturing the next generation of sisters, brothers, and priests. Our four new directional statements connect generations and cultures, inspiring new possibilities with a financially sustainable framework and equipping vocation ministers with innovative tools and wisdom needed for a flourishing Church. 

We cannot do this without your contribution. We are reaching out to ask for your generous support to help us:

• Refresh our resources to reflect the interculturality of today’s discerners.
• Conduct relevant workshops to elevate the skills and effectiveness of vocation ministers and those responsible for candidate assessment.
• Expand our Talk it up Tuesday’s virtual series, providing a platform for sharing vocation ministry skills, experience, and insights.
• Sustain excellence in publications, including HORIZON and VISION Vocation Network.
• Increase our digital presence on NRVC’s YouTube Channel and update our website, meeting the ever-growing need for accessible, high-quality vocation resources.
• Sponsor our biennial Convocation in Orlando, FL, November 19-23, 2026.
