Redemptorist Youth and Vocation Ministry (R.Y.V.M.) is a Program of the Redemptorists in many parts of the world. There are two branches of R.Y.V.M: Youth and Young Adult Ministry, and Vocation Ministry. While at face value, Youth and Young Adult Ministry, and Vocation Ministry are very different, the concept of R.Y.V.M. respects the fact that we all have been gifted with a vocation, and are called by God to live out the gift of our baptism. Some who participate in R.Y.V.M. Programs will feel called to discern a place in the Redemptorist family as a Priest or Brother. Our initiatives through R.Y.V.M. support the discernment of young men to our Congregation.
