For National Vocations Awareness Week (Nov. 5-11), we'd like you to take a minute and see "What Makes a Marian."
Learn about Marian vocations.
Support Marian Seminarians.

Marian vocations are thriving! On Ordination Weekend, May 8 and 9, 2026, at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy, we welcomed three new Deacons and one new Priest for the Marian Congregation.
On Sept. 6, Br. Patrick Lynch, MIC was ordained to the transitional diaconate, the last step, God willing, on his vocational journey to the priesthood.
There's a new priest for the Congregation of Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary: Father Alexander D. Pumphrey, MIC. Father Alex was ordained to the priesthood on Aug. 16 at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy.
