Bishop Ireton Vocations

We are proud that many Bishop Ireton and St. Mary’s Academy alumni have responded to God’s call by pursuing religious vocations in service to Our Lord and His Church. Several return to campus throughout the year to celebrate Mass, hear confessions or support students in their faith journeys.

Please keep them in your prayers as they exercise their ministry.
