The Chicago Archdiocesan Vocation Association (CAVA) consists of vocation ministers representing various religious congregations and partner organizations who collaborate and support one another in our vocation work. CAVA members promote general vocation awareness and accompany men and women who are discerning a vocation to consecrated life or help them on their journey as they respond to God’s call in their life. CAVA offers vocation awareness opportunities including discernment retreats, workshops and presentations for parishes, schools, colleges and youth and young adult groups. CAVA is a ministry of the Office for Religious (OFR) in the Archdiocese of Chicago.
