Calling men to discern the priesthood is critical to the future of our Church. The Office of Priestly Vocations is at the forefront of this vital effort.

Your CSA contributions help support the Diocese of Grand Rapids' "Office of Communications."

We were created to know, low, and serve God. The joy that comes from knowing him is so contagious that we cannot help but share it with others. The Office of Communications aims to support Catholics as we reach out to share our faith with others. From the live broadcast of Sunday Mass from the Cathedral of Saint Andrew on television and the web, FAITH Grand Rapids magazine, social media and the diocesan website, the Office of Communications provides resources that bring Christ into our homes, workplaces, and communities.
