Contact our Vocation Director

The Franciscan Vocation Ministry is called to promote vocations to the Franciscan way of life and ministries of Holy Name Province. Our services include consultation and assistance with discernment to religious life as well as information on our Order, the admissions process and the initial formation program. We also offer "Come and See" and Discernment Retreat Weekends for interested men as well as Insight & Wisdom, a quarterly newsletter highlighting vocation activities.

If you feel that God is calling you to religious life, and you meet our requirements of who can be a Franciscan friar, please fill out the online form below. The information you provide will be seen only by those working with you in your vocational search. Once we receive your request, we will send you informational materials via standard mail.
