The primary purpose of the Vocations office is to assist individuals who are discerning their personal vocation and state in life. This involves helping men in their preliminary and ongoing discernment of a vocation to the diocesan priesthood, as well as to assist women and men in their initial discernment of the call to the consecrated life.  

"It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you"  
​John 15:16

Please join us in prayer for our Seminarians as they prepare for priesthood. May God grant them the grace to grow closer to Him through their daily prayers and studies. Below is the list of current Seminarians studying at St. Joseph's Seminary in Edmonton, Alberta and at St. Peter's Seminary in London, Ontario.
