Today is World Day of Prayer for Vocations! 🙏

O Jesus, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, draw all people to Yourself, especially those You are calling to the priesthood and consecrated life.

Give Your Church, we pray, fervent priests to serve at your altar, and holy men and women, who will devote their lives to prayer and service as consecrated brothers and sisters.

May the Heart of Jesus, in the Most Blessed Sacrament, be praised, adored, and loved, with grateful affection, at every moment, in all the tabernacles of the world, even until the end of time. Amen.

Well said. Amen!

As we prepare for Holy Week, we are invited to walk closely with Christ through His suffering, death, and Resurrection. Let us also remember those who walk that road daily in His service, our priests.

This photo comes from an ad in a diocesan newspaper, a cherished memory from Bishop Barber’s childhood. He carried it in his wallet for 40 years, a quiet testament to the faith that first inspired his vocation.

“He does things each day whose importance cannot be told in any tongue on earth… he does the noblest work on earth, keeps Christ in the lives of the people.”

During this sacred week, as priests celebrate the Chrism Mass, lead us through the Triduum, hear confessions, and offer the sacrifice of the Mass, may we pause to pray for them, thank them, and recognize the love with which they serve.

This week, consider praying for your pastor by name, offering a word of encouragement, or making a Holy Week intention for priests, especially those who are weary or alone.

May our gratitude help foster a culture of vocations and support the shepherds God has given His Church.

“St. Joseph was a just man, a tireless worker, the upright guardian of those entrusted to his care. May he always guard, protect & enlighten families.” -St. Pope John Paul II
Joseph was an ordinary man on whom God relied to do great things! He chose to say "YES" to God every day. May we follow in his footsteps.
St. Joseph, pray for us!

Our priests are likely exhausted. Pray for them to get good rest and self care to replenish their energy and zeal after this busy, busy season helping us rejoice in the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ! We appreciate their innumerable sacrifices for our spiritual growth.
