History
On October 17, 1973, the Senate of Priests gave authority to Fr. Karl Raab to form a Committee on Vocations. The Committee chose its name: The Vocation Team. Fr. Karl Raab and Fr. Larry Pederson were the first two co-directors.
The Vocation Team, a committee of the Senate of Priests, met monthly. Its working guidelines were prepared in September 1982.
At one time, the Vocation Team was made up of 15 members representing Diocesan Priesthood, Religious Communities of men and women, Catholic Women’s League, Knights of Columbus, Serra Club, Edmonton Catholic School Board, St. Joseph’s College, and the Rural Catechetical Team.
