What is Adoration for Vocations?
Adoration for Vocations (AFV) is prayer for all vocations in the Catholic Church, priestly, consecrated, religious vocations and holy marriages. AFV focuses prayer on the stages of each vocation, from discernment to living the vocation, for holiness, fidelity and the fulfilment of God’s will.
HOW TO PRAY FOR VOCATIONS
There are various ways to pray for vocations:
1
A guided Holy Hour (priest or deacon) The AFV Holy Hour can be prayed in a parish, chapel, convent, seminary, religious or consecrated community, or school.
2
Individual AFV Holy Hour

In 2025 and 2026 Vocation Action Network is organizing a worldwide challenge for the specific intentions of inviting all young people to discern their vocation. We share the Church’s desire to rebuild a culture of vocations where everyone is invited to discover how the Lord is calling them to know, love, and serve Him. Vocations to the priesthood, consecrated life, or holy marriages are all included in this Holy Hour Challenge.
