La Iglesia Católica Unida de Estados Unidos busca hombres y mujeres de fe apasionados y solidarios para servir a toda la gente de este país.
Date la oportunidad de entablar un diálogo vocacional inicial con nuestro promotor de vocaciones y deja que te ayude a discernir las formas en las que puedes participar activamente en los ministerios de la iglesia.
Ya se trate de incardinarte a nuestra jurisdicción o de iniciar tu carrera vocacional, estamos aquí para ayudarte a escuchar una vez más la voz de Dios pidiéndote que seas uno de nosotros al servicio del Reino de Dios y del pueblo de Dios.

We Welcome You
The United American Catholic Church welcomes with open arms the clergy qualified to be incardinated in the Church. Priests, deacons and individuals in religious life who wish to join us will find the incardination process professional, complete and unbiased. Together, the church and the candidate discern over time whether incardination is mutually nurturing.
We are Looking for Committed People
We seek people committed to the unique charism of service and social justice. We seek dedication and resilience in those who might be in remote places. We know firsthand how difficult it is to live apart from each other, and we know how challenging it can be to continue with a vocation in such circumstances.
In that sense, we are looking for people who, although distant by geographical areas, can work as a team, people who engage in open communication and work with other members of the UACC. We seek ecclesial ministers who can see the signs of the times today and welcome all as sons and daughters of God, regardless of their lifestyles, gender, and social and economic status. We seek a good fit between the applicant and the UACC so that a productive and long-term relationship can be ensured for both.
