Do you want to make a true difference in the world? Come join our team.
Feeling ready for a career that gives you the freedom to openly live out your values, foster your spiritual life, AND excel at your work? Do you desire to work where you personally will make an eternal impact on the world?
As you look around, you may notice our societal underpinnings, cultural norms, and our overall ethos in America no longer supports and buoys up those seeking to follow Christ. At this pivotal point in history, there is an amazing opportunity to rediscover the power of the Gospel and to bring people to the saving grace and abundance of life in Jesus Christ. If you feel a tug on your heart to live on mission for the glory of the Father, we’d love to meet you.
The Archdiocese of Denver is seeking a relational, creative, and organized person to serve as the Administrative Assistant for our Vocations Office. If you are a person who loves building and running processes while working closely with people, we’d love to meet you. The Administrative Assistant assists the Director of Vocations. He/She has transferable knowledge and skills in the area of office management. He/She is responsible for learning all aspects of vocations ministry and priestly formation through in-house education and attendance of appropriate seminars and conferences. He/She must be sensitive to the confidential nature of this ministry. The administrative assistant is an integral part of the vocations staff, and his/her insights are sought and valued.
Values:
• Prayer: The primary role of the Office of Vocations is to accompany individuals in the diocese as they seek to know God’s will in their lives and to respond to it. It is desirable that those working in the Office are themselves persons of prayer, discernment, and openness to God’s will. They ought to have daily prayer lives, attend Mass weekly, regularly go to confession and be knowledgeable regarding discernment in ministry.
• Trust: This ministry requires a complete and total trust in God and His providence. From this, also flows a need to trust one another, especially those with whom we work. Since the Director of Vocations responsibilities often require his absence from the office, the Assistant should be able to manage multiple projects when he is not present. The Assistant is likewise entrusted with being aware of and attentive to the various details accompanying events and projects.
• Collaboration: The Office of Vocations works with many other diocesan offices, parishes, schools, organizations, individuals, and our Archdiocesan Seminaries. This requires an ability to work effectively with others, receive input for creative thinking and building positive working relationships. An understanding of the Catholic faith and the seminary experience are desirable, as well as the ability to relate to young adults.
