Tribunal

This diocesan Tribunal is the court of the bishop of the Diocese of Burlington, composed of judicial personnel and directed by the judicial vicar as delegated by the executive authority of the bishop.

 

Vocations Ministry

Jesus Christ is both the source and the destination of every vocation. He called His first priests by name, and they left everything at once and followed Him. They offered their lives in the service of the Gospel and found great joy and fulfillment in the adventure of following Christ’s call. How is Jesus calling you to serve His Church? The vocations ministry of the Diocese of Burlington is here to help you discern God’s plan for your life. Do not be afraid!
