The observance of
National Vocation Awareness Week (NVAW)
began in 1976 when the National Conference of Catholic Bishops designated the 28
th Sunday of the year as the beginning of
NVAW
. In 1997 this celebration was moved to coincide with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord.
NCCV promotes all Catholic Church vocations. This
NVAW kit is designed to assist preachers, teachers, catechists, and other ministers. By fostering a culture of vocations, the Church is strengthened in its universal call to holiness. May this resource meet your particular needs and enhance your local celebration.
