Vocations Awareness is a subcommittee of Spiritual Life and Adult Education. This subcommittee is currently under review, with recommendations to be made at the 2010 Annual General Meeting,

The responsibilities of this committee are to educate parishioners on the four vocations:

- Religious sister or brother
- Ordained priesthood
- Married life
- Single lay person

Activities which stimulate discussion and thought on this topic are promoted in the parish.

"The whole Christian community shares the responsibility for fostering vocations. The first step is to live in a full Christian manner. Families with a lively spirit of faith, love and reverence contribute greatly to this work. Spiritually active parishes, where people take a full part, help to promote vocations." (from the CCCB Ordo, 2008-09)

Vocations Awareness week is usually held in April.

In 2009, World Day of Prayer for Vocations was Sunday, May 3.

The Archdiocese website, Vocations section also has more information.

Parish Council representative for Vocations is to be elected during the odd years.
