In response to the acute shortage of priests and consecrated religious in the Church today the promotion of vocation to the priesthood and consecrated religious life is the goal of the Vocations Committee at our parish, because it is at the parish level that the families can be most effectively educated and inspired to promote vocations for their children.
Through the support and generosity of the parish, the Vocations Committee, under the direction of Fr. Howard, encourages continuous prayer by families of the parish throughout the year for the urgent need of vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life.
Parishioners who volunteer will receive a Cross and a Prayer Folder to take home and pray for Vocations for one month. At the First Sunday of the month the Vocations cross is passed to the next family at each of the four Masses.
