Vocations Office

A vocation is our response to the call that God has placed upon our hearts. The Church recognizes four vocations: priesthood, consecrated life, marriage, and the single life.

Are you hearing a call to a certain vocation right now? Figuring out what to do about that tug at your heart isn’t easy to do alone!  Fortunately, we Catholics are never alone.  We have an extraordinary relationship with God through the sacraments and the entire Church to walk with us in discovering our vocation. 

Whether you are feeling called to the married life, the priesthood, the life of a consecrated religious sister or brother, the single life, or are simply unsure how you are being called, the resources below will help you in your discernment. 

For more information about vocations to religious life, contact Sr. Mindy Welding: mwelding@diopitt.org or 412-456-3067. 

For more information about discerning a vocation to the priesthood in the Diocese of Pittsburgh, reach out to Father Ken Marlovits below.
