Effective August 12, 2024, the Youngstown Vocations Support Society (YVSS) has disbanded as a formal organization. YVSS was formed in January 2018 and was formerly part of Serra International. Our mission was to pray and foster vocations to the ministerial priesthood, religious vocations, and the diaconate of the Catholic Church. Although we will no longer meet on a regular basis, our prayers will always continue for vocations. Several members will still be supporting vocations as volunteers under the Office of Vocations for the Catholic Diocese of Youngstown, and will be available to assist with projects as needed.
