Resources to promote young vocations for churches

Called to Serve

We are working to encourage young people (18-32) to explore their sense of calling and vocation.

To help with this, we have created a range of resources, including a series of videos of clergy sharing their young vocations stories, for parishes to help promote young vocations in churches and worshipping communities across Chelmsford Diocese.

If you would like to promote young vocations in your church community, you can access the video series and the resources through the link below.


Resources for Vocations Sunday

Vocations Sunday, marked on the fourth Sunday of Easter each year, is a gentle invitation to pause and listen for God’s voice. We believe that God calls each and every one of us, and that deep peace, contentment, and joy are found in responding to that call.
