Vocations Sunday Collection will take place today.
Pope Benedict encourages us by saying that “The Lord makes use of the witness of priests who are faithful to their mission in order to awaken new priestly and religious vocations for the service of the People of God”. Do not be afraid to encourage people in our parish to consider being a priest or religious. It is an important responsibility that we all share to promote vocations to priesthood and religious life. We thank the Eucharistic Adoration Apostolate for their prayers for vocations and the St. Joseph’s Young Priest’s Society for their support in assisting the seminarians at home and abroad.
