Vocation Resources
Did you know that every diocese has an office for the promotion of vocations?
These vocations offices have a vocations director who is entrusted with helping men and women discern their particular vocations. Below you will find links to the Vocation’s Office websites for the dioceses that have attended the 2024 Steubenville Lone Star and of the Rockies Conference.
Some diocesan sites contain more information than others, but all have some way of contacting the office of vocations and learning more about the discernment process. If detailed on the site, the vocations director and his contact information are included below for your reference.
In addition to the diocesan vocations office links, the bottom of the page contains two links to assist with discerning men’s and women’s religious orders, which are rich with knowledge about consecrated religious life and the discernment process.

Vision
With Zeal for a New Evangelization, we desire to help souls respond to Jesus by means of preaching, teaching, spiritual exercises, administration of the Sacraments, and assistance to the poor.
When Jesus is our first love, we find ourselves beloved lovers of God.
We are a missionary men’s community, helping souls meet and love Jesus as Lord.
We practice prayerful and penitential chastity, poverty and obedience in the footsteps of our Savior. We are inspired by St. Francis of Assisi and St. Ignatius Loyola in fraternity and apostolic generosity.
We evangelize and disciple youth, preach retreats, train missionaries, and provide spiritual direction. We live and work in Denver, and we are on mission wherever He calls us.
We die to ourselves, to live for Christ and for His Bride, the Holy Catholic Church.
We are the Servants of Christ Jesus.

To quote Carlo‘s own words: “Our destination must be what is infinite, not what is finite. Infinity is our homeland. We have been expected in Heaven since time immemorial”. He also said: “All are born with their own originality, but many die as photocopies”

Group Leader Ministry Session
Saturday, 1:30 PM | Spruce 3/4
This session, led by Jim Beckman from ImpactCenter, is designed to provide a time of spiritual rest and refreshment. One of the biggest challenges we face in ministry is staying connected and rooted to Christ. We spend so much time ministering to others, but often very little is done to take care of ourselves. Take some time away from your teens to let the Lord minister to YOU.
