With the shortage of priests and other vocations we realize that we must pray for more young men and women to answer the call to the priesthood and religious life.
Please include the following prayer in your daily prayer life:
Loving God, You speak to us and nourish us through the life of this Church community.
In the name of Jesus, we ask you to send your Spirit to us so that men and women among us, young and old, will respond to your call to service and leadership in the Church. We pray especially, in our day, for those who hear your invitation to be a priest, sister, or brother.
May those who are opening their hearts and minds to your call be encouraged and strengthened through our enthusiasm in your service.
Amen.
