• Welcome to the Office of Vocations website for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lexington
      This web page has been developed especially for you. Listening to God's call is referred to as "discernment". We believe that God has called all the baptized to a unique vocation to holiness and service. Whether you are a student in high school or in college, whether you are single, dating or married, whether you are a Deacon or a Religious Sister or Brother or thinking about becoming a priest, you too are called to listen to the invitations to which Jesus Christ is calling.
