Religious Vocations Project

We are a network of Christian people (Priests, Brothers, Sisters, Monks and Nuns) who have some experience of guidance in decisions about community life. We believe that the creative Spirit of God awakens many different responses in people’s hearts. We’ll help you explore your spiritual call at the heart of the world.


On this website we aim to offer you information and guidance about the opportunities that lie before you. You will discover links to communities and organisations that offer a wide variety of experiences for service and prayer. We also offer articles and stories about ways to approach the complex decisions life throws at us.


Through the contact page you can also be put in touch with someone that can help you explore the questions and choices you are facing at this point in your journey.

Vocation Expo 2010

The Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Botwell Parish, Hayes.

As Vocation Expo 2009 was such a success, we were persuaded to run it again as Vocation Expo 2010, for four days at Hayes, Middlesex, from October 21st to October 24th.

A four day programme of exhibitions, workshops and talks was assembled. Some of the many interesting presentations given in the exhibition or the workshop can be found here.

Vocation Expo 2009

A busy scen from Vocation Expo 2010.

Vocation Expo 2009 was held over four days at the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at Hayes, Middlesex. Over 700 people attended and participated in the workshops and viewed the exhibitions, which informed about the range of activities and work undertaken by Catholic Religious Orders and organisations throughout the world, from working with trafficked sex workers to helping conserve the world’s natural resources. There was something to interest everyone.
