The Vocations Team
Who are we? What do we do?
Vanessa Herrick - the former Diocesan Director of Ordinands wrote:
“The Vocations Team, is an ordinary group of men and women – lay and ordained – who are there to help people work out what God might be calling them to be and to do. They do this in a variety of ways, including leading vocations events, speaking and preaching in parishes and generally encouraging others to think about God’s calling to the whole Church. A lot of their time, however, is spent working on-to-one with those who are exploring a particular sense of calling and who may or may not be clear where God is leading them.

Canon Kate Aylmer - Senior Vocations Adviser
If you would find it helpful to talk with a member of the Team, then please get in touch with us or talk to your Vicar or Minister and ask them to get in touch on your behalf. We look forward to meeting you!”
