Welcome to the website for the Vocation Office of the Diocese of Buffalo.

When looking at the future, there are many paths a person can choose. Sometimes individuals feel called to the priesthood, religious life, or other service within the Church, but may not know how to get more information. 

This is the purpose of our website. Please read Fr. Dave's message to you at the Director's Update page, which will give you more information and provide you with additional resources to help you discover God's plan.
