Consecrated Life

Do you feel called to religious life?

There is an enormous range of opportunities to live your faith through the calling to religious life. Consecrated persons in the Archdiocese are members of many different orders, each with their own missions and purposes.

Since the arrival of Oblate Priests and the Sisters of Charity of Montreal (Grey Nuns) in the mid-1800s, consecrated persons of many different communities have helped to sow the seeds of the Gospel and tend to a variety of needs of the people in the Archdiocese of Edmonton.

Communities of men and women religious were vital to the establishment of parishes, hospitals, schools, orphanages and homes for the aged across the Archdiocese. They continue to be active and needed today and in the future, in parish life, pastoral care, spiritual direction, health care and education. 

Where possible, we have linked each community name to its website; for further information on each order, just click on the name:

Prayer for Vocations

Heavenly Father, bless your Church in the Archdiocese of Edmonton with an abundance of holy and zealous priests, deacons, religious, and seminarians.

Give those You have called to the married state and those You have chosen to live as single persons in the world, the special graces that their lives require.

Form us all in the likeness of Your Son so that in Him, with Him, and through Him we may love You more deeply and serve You more faithfully, always and everywhere.

With the virgin mother Mary we ask this through Christ your Son.

Amen.
