Catholic Volunteer Network Where faith and service meet. OUR VISION
Through service rooted in faith, all will know the opportunity to impact the world and be transformed.

Since 1963, Catholic Volunteer Network has sought to bring together people who have a heart for service. Today, our community consists of volunteer program staff; volunteers and missioners (prospective, current, and former!); colleges and universities; dioceses and parishes; religious communities; lay groups; partner organizations; individuals who are champions for service; and a dedicated staff and Board of Directors. Our foundation is built on the gospel and rooted in the principles of Catholic Social Teaching. We strive to increase awareness of the opportunity to live out one’s faith in service to the poor, and actively work to remove any barriers that may prevent people from engaging in faith-based service. We welcome you to become a part of the CVN community.

Introducing Confessions After a Year of Service 👀🫢

What happens when you step into a year of service? You learn, you grow, and sometimes, you discover that you need to start asking more questions.

In this new series, volunteers reflect on the lessons, challenges, and unexpected experiences that shaped their time of service.

💬 Have you completed a year of service? What’s one thing you learned or experienced that stayed with you?

Send us a message with your confession!

For the past several weeks, we’ve been featuring our Called to More sessions, exploring what it means to recognize where we are being called and respond with intention, courage, and faith.

Each session offers an opportunity to pause, reflect, and consider how we can move from seeing the needs around us to taking meaningful action.

Interested in facilitating a Called to More group or want to learn more about the project? We’d love to have you be part of it!

Comment “CALLED” below, and we’ll send you more information about the project and how you can participate.
