Office of Vocations

Welcome to the Office of Vocations website! Click on the "Play" button to the right to watch the Director of Vocations welcome video. So many of our questions and uncertainties can be addressed when we meet with a priest or someone who knows what it is like to consider coming to the seminary.

We have created several groups of short videos highlighting relevant topics in discerning a religious vocation.

Here is your chance to meet some of the priests of this Archdiocese and discover what has led them into the priesthood and sustained them with joyful resolve to serve God’s holy people.

Here is your chance to meet two of your seminarians, Mr. Matthew Niggemeyer a collegian at Conception Seminary College and Mr. Andrew Syring a student at Kenrick-Glennon School of Theology.

Our seminarians will guide you through some of their experiences of the seminary, college and graduate school.

Finally, you can hear from our Archbishop, Most Reverend George J. Lucas.

Encounter him in this video offering and gain some candid insight into his own response to God’s call.

Allow the Lord to speak to your heart through him and all the others.

May you seek and find in this place.

God bless you!
