      Vocations Director of the Archeparchy participated in the conference of the National Conference of Diocesan Vocation Directors

      On August 25-28, 2025, Fr. Volodymyr Radko, Vocations Director of the Archeparchy of Philadelphia, participated in the conference organized by the National Conference of Diocesan Vocation Directors. The conference annually gathers vocations directors and their associates from across the United States to pray together and to discuss the common blessings and challenges in their diocesan ministry. The conference was also attended by the vocations directors from Canada and Australia. The numerous presentations during this week provided practical information on effective promotion of vocations to the priesthood, supporting those who discern the call to this ministry, and how to help seminarians throughout their seminary formation. This year was the 62nd annual conference and was held at the Immaculate Conception Seminary in Huntington, NY.

      The opening mass of the conference was presided by Cardinal Rainer Woelki, Archbishop of Cologne, Germany. In his keynote address during the spirituality morning, Most Rev. Edmund Whalen, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of New York, pointed out the importance of personal spiritual growth of a vocations director that will help him to guide the men who feel called to serve the Lord.

      The National Conference of Diocesan Vocation Directors (NCDVD) is a US organization whose goal is to support diocesan vocations directors in their mission in the Church. The main office of the NCDVD is located at the Immaculate Conception Seminary, Huntington, NY.
