NRVC members are asked to prayerfully consider nominating themselves or another for service on the board. Nominees will be voted on at the spring 2024 board meeting and begin serving at the fall. Board members are expected to attend two in-person, three-day meetings a year, attend convocation,  and be willing to serve on a committee or task force. Learn more by speaking with a current board member.  Nominations are due by January 31 using the following forms:  nomination form, self nomination form.

These attractive, postcard-size prayer cards are perfect for sending to discerners, students, and young adult contacts.

When the NRVC board meets in Tucson, Arizona December 4-8, it will welcome five new members and thank three members who will meet for the last time. The NRVC extends deep thanks to outgoing members:

• Sister Belinda Monahan, O.S.B.
• Father Adam MacDonald, S.V.D.
• Sister Mindy Welding, I.H.M.

The NRVC is grateful to the following incoming board members:

• Brother Joseph Bach, O.F.M. Conv.
• Sister Margarita Hernandez, S.P.
• Friar Mario Serrano, O.F.M. Conv.
• Brother Edward Shields, F.S.C.
• Sister Gail Trippett, C.S.J.

The NRVC recently introduced a 20 percent discount for members who take out 10 or more HORIZON subscriptions. Bulk subscriptions now cost members $40 each instead of the usual $50. The NRVC encourages vocation ministers to provide HORIZON subscriptions to every household in their community.  Reading HORIZON keeps membership informed and inspired to contribute to the ministry.

Whether your community events are virtual or in-person, spread your net widely by posting them on the VISION Vocation Guide free event calendar. Prayer services, retreats, learning or service opportunities, and more are welcome to be listed. Events need not be specifically related to vocations. The only criteria is that an event be sponsored by a religious community. 

Renée Dee says the best compliment she's received lately was hearing: "We haven't talked this much about vocations in years!" As national vocation director for the La Salette Missionaries, she is focusing on developing a culture of vocations throughout the community's parishes, schools, and ministries. Read more...
