Labadie Communications is a full service advertising and direct marketing agency, specializing in the assistance and promotion of vocations and ministries of the Catholic Church. Our creative team began in 1989 as a direct marketing and advertising agency in Lincoln, Nebraska. Our clients asked us to become a full-service advertising agency while also expanding our client base both nationally and internationally. In 2004, Phil Labadie met Monsignor Leonard Kalin, vocation director of the Diocese of Lincoln at the time, who needed help producing the Diocese’s seminarian brochure that led to the development of the Seminarian Education Appeal which we have perfected today. As a result, we were led to focus all of our efforts on the Catholic Church, Catholic Religious, and Catholic organizations with a primary emphasis on vocations and supporting both vocation directors and the office of vocations throughout the United States. Our ministry has grown to several dioceses and, by God’s Grace, our successful programs continue to evolve and have helped many dioceses not only increase vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life, but also to raise awareness and financial resources to support these vocations. Our mission statement is what drives us to continue this most important work for the Church while also utilizing and embracing current technology to connect each diocese to those who have a call to the priesthood or consecrated life and the lay faithful who truly have a heart for vocations.
