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.

Your donation will help us to continue being Bearers of Hope/Portadores de Esperanza/Sứ Giả Hy Vọng. Check out our Annual Report for current activites and benefactors.
