Vocation Search
Are you discerning a vocation? Vocation Search will help you discover detailed information about the 190 Catholic religious communities and apostolates that are IRL Affiliates. Filtering criteria allows you to select your specific interest area such as tradition (Dominican, Benedictine, etc.), apostolate, cloistered or active, and belated vocations. Discernment retreats listed by community, location, and date can help you see if the Lord is calling you.
Share in the Mission
The mission of the IRL is to proclaim and explain to the world the true nature and essential value of Consecrated/Religious Life as a radical following of Jesus Christ and its vital importance for the welfare of the Church and the salvation of souls. Lay people are invited to support the mission of the IRL, participate in our National and Regional Meetings, and pray for vocations. We encourage religious communities to be part of the family by becoming an Affiliate Member.
