With COVID-19 stay-at-home orders in effect, many NRVC members have begun doing additional online outreach to their target populations.
Many clergy are involved in live-stream Masses, and other religious are offering prayer, discernment guidance, and positive messages through a variety of means.
Following are ministry ideas assembled by the NRVC staff:
- Try learning a social media platform that is used by your target demographic.
- Hold conversations with discerners by Zoom.
- Place your activities on the VISION Vocation Guide calendar. Also: Please update VISION calendar listings about events that have changed venue or been postponed.
- Take a workshop or course in a topic relevant to vocation ministry.
- Learn more about Adobe Spark (which has a free version). At least one vocation director has used it to organize an online retreat.
- Pray for men religious suffering from or deceased from COVID-19.
- Read HORIZON online articles about an aspect of your ministry.
- Text or mail cards to vocation contacts.
- Organize your contacts to better track your interactions with them.
- Organize your digital photos for use in publicity.
- Update your job description.
- Update the application for entrance into your religious institute.
- Update your VISION Vocation Match profile.
- Download and read “Code of Ethics for Vocation Ministry.”
