THE Benefits of JOINING NCDVD

Why Become a Member?

There’s no other organization in the Church like NCDVD. We are focused exclusively on ensuring that diocesan vocation directors find joy and spiritual fulfillment in their work and are competent and effective as they guide men in discerning their call to be priests.

Our members tell us that they get two primary benefits from their participation First, they receive good advice on what works to foster vocations. Second, they enjoy the support of friends and colleagues in this challenging ministry.

We’re primarily an organization of the American Church. Thus, our services and benefits are geared toward those who serve in dioceses and eparchies that are under the auspices of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. However, vocation directors from abroad enjoy significant benefits of membership as well.
