Irish vocational efforts receive grant

Hilton Foundation assisting


Efforts to promote religious life in Ireland are expected to gain intensity in the next three years, thanks to a recent grant from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.

Vocations Ireland, an umbrella organization that helps religious orders to share their way of life and encourage new members, has been awarded $290,000 by the Catholic Sisters Initiative of the Hilton Foundation.

The grant, to be spread over three years, is specifically to help build organizational capacity within Vocations Ireland.

Vocations Ireland Director Margaret Cartwright said she was “delighted” with the grant and said it would allow the organization to support religious orders, congregations, and missionary societies in telling the stories of their ministry.
