A Message from Bishop John J. McRaith
Welcome to our Vocations Office website. I thoroughly enjoy my time browsing the World-Wide Web. It is my hope and prayer that what you discover at this site may inspire you to pray and support the vocation ministry of your diocese.

For those who may be "thinking about" religious life or diocesan priesthood, my words to you are, "Check it out today!" God continues to call women and men to Church vocations; your response needs to be that of Samuel: "Speak Lord, for your servant is listening." (1 Samuel 3:9)

No poster, no retreat, not even a fancy website can give anyone a vocation. That is God's work. What we can do is foster opportunities for people to stop and discern the Lord's will for their lives.

Sincerely in Christ,

Most Reverend John J. McRaith
Bishop of the Diocese of Owensboro
