Friends, our parish community gives thanks to God for the gift of vocations and for the generous response of Channa and Simon to his callโ€ฆ.. As they take this important step towards ordained ministry, let us surround them with our prayers and support. May they continue to grow in faith, humility and love, trusting in Godโ€™s grace as they discern and prepare for a life of service to Christ and his Church.

โ€œHere I am, Lord; I have come to do your will.โ€ (Psalm 40:7)

Please keep Channa and Simon in your prayers and may God bless them abundantly on their vocation journey.
