The beginnings of the vocations office are found in the post- Vatican II period. The need for a vocation directress was raised by the pre-1966 Chapter Formation Committee. In March 1968 a Vocation Committee was established with Sr. Julienne Smith as chair. In August 1968 Sr. Julienne was asked to be Vocation Directress. As Vocation Directress, Sr. Julienne also served on the Formation Team which was created in 1970 and the pre-1972 Chapter Formation Committee.

The archives has one folder belonging to Sr. Julienne Smith containing Fomation Committee minutes and other formation related documents. More recent vocations material, including promotional brochures, may be found in Printed.
