He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest"
~ Luke 10:2
The daily mission of the Youngstown Vocations Support Society is to pray "asking the Lord of the harvest to send workers into His harvest field" (Luke 10:2). Working closely with the Office of Clergy, Vocations, and Religious Services of the Catholic Diocese of Youngstown, we work to foster and promote vocations to the ministerial priesthood and religious vocations of the Catholic Church and to develop appreciation of the ministerial priesthood and of all religious vocations in the Catholic Church, and to further Catholicism by encouraging its members, in fellowship and through education, to fulfill their Christian baptismal call to service.
