National Vocation Awareness Week (NVAW) is an annual week-long celebration dedicated to promote vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these vocations.
This year, it will be celebrated on November 3-9.
