Within the Framework for Collaboration there are three Vicariates: for Vocation, for Education and for Evangelisation. The Framework is theologically grounded on Christ and His three‐fold office as Priest, Prophet and King, that is, of sanctifying (His high priesthood), teaching (His prophetic mission) and shepherding (His rule). The three Vicariates also represent three dynamically interrelated strands of Christian discipleship, animated by the Holy Spirit: call ‐ formation ‐ mission. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, the call of the disciple leads him or her to formation in the life and teaching of Christ, and this in turn leads to him or her being sent out on mission.
Each Vicariate is divided into two Departments. These are led by a priest, a deacon, a religious or a layperson. The six Departments are as follows: Vicariate for Vocation: Department for Vocation; Department for Clergy. Vicariate for Education: Catholic Academies and Schools Office; and Department for Educational Chaplaincies, Department for Charity; and Vicariate for Evangelisation: Department for New Evangelisation. This allocation of Departments to Vicariates comprise team‐activities.
