The Director of Vocations works with various groups, educational programs, and organizations of the Church to create an environment supportive of those called to serve as priests, sisters and brothers. Emphasis is on discernment for these vocational choices. In conjunction with the Archdiocesan Seminary Admissions and Advisory Board, he is responsible for the application and screening process of seminarians. Upon acceptance, the director supports and advises seminarians, monitors their evaluations, supervises diocesan pastoral experiences and placements, and makes recommendations for Holy Orders.
