The Second Vatican Council recommended all parish communities to further vocation awareness in their parishes. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, wrote the following in his Apostolic Exhortation Sacramentum Caritatis:
The pastoral care of vocations needs to involve the entire Christian community in every area of its life.
We cannot create a “vocation”; only God can do that. But we can, through prayer and promotion, make our parish community more “vocation conscious” and help each individual listen to what God is calling them to do with his/her life.
