What is VocationSearch? (from their website)
IRL’s VocationSearch (formerly called WebFact) program enables visitors to find information on more than two hundred selected Catholic religious/consecrated communities throughout the United States and beyond. Using one of the most advanced searchable databases for Catholic communities on the Web, VocationSearch reveals information on communities’ charisms, apostolates, prayer life and formation programs.
