National Vocation Awareness Week, Nov. 7 - 13

The way Jesus shows you is not easy. Rather, it is like a path winding up a mountain. Do not lose heart! The steeper the road, the faster it rises towards ever wider horizons.”  - St. John Paul II

Pray of for Vocations
• During National Vocation Awareness Week, we ask the Holy Spirit to renew the Church with more vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life.   
• For Catholic educators, that they can inspire students to remain open to God’s call for their lives. 
• That young men from our parish will respond to the Church’s tremendous need for priests.  ]
• That young men and women in our parish will seriously consider making vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience in religious life.
• That Christian parents, as they live their own vocations to marriage, will encourage their children to consider a priestly or religious vocation.   
• For the priests and religious who have served our parish and have passed from this life, that the Lord grant them eternal happiness.
