Seeking the Lord

Every vocation begins with an encounter.

In prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, men discover not only who God is, but who He is calling them to become.

Listening to God's Voice

Before every vocation begins, there is an invitation. In the silence of prayer, God speaks to the heart and calls each person by name.

The Church needs men who are willing to listen, trust, and follow wherever the Lord leads.

Change the world. Consider priesthood.

Brothers and sisters in Christ, save the date for a joyful day in the life of our local Church. On Saturday, June 20, I will have the privilege of ordaining four men to the Holy Priesthood at St. Mary's Cathedral. After years of prayer, formation, and study, they are preparing to dedicate their lives to the service of God and His people throughout western Oregon. Please join me in praying for them as they approach ordination.

Saturday, June 20 · 11:00 AM · St. Mary’s Cathedral

Ordinands: Deacons Shawn Daniel, Nicholas Martell, Zachary Muñoz, and Tristan Schubert

It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of our seminarian Tom Kloucek, who passed away unexpectedly following medical complications.

We are thankful that Tom spent 5 days on retreat with his brother seminarians just prior to his passing and we are thankful for that time of prayer and fraternity that they shared together.

Tom was a man of great faith who loved Jesus Christ and the Church. In reflecting on his vocation, he once wrote:

“Praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament was where I finally understood Jesus’ sacrifice of Himself at the crucifixion… He died on the cross for you and for me. Jesus loves me.”

Those who knew Tom encountered in him a sincere love for the Lord, a thoughtful and searching faith, and a genuine desire to give his life in service to the Church as a priest.

Please join us in praying for the repose of Tom’s soul, for his family and loved ones, his brother seminarians, and all who mourn his passing.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. Amen.

6 Ways to Discern Your Vocation: #3 Good Information:

It is impossible to discover your vocation without good information. What does it mean to have a holy Christian marriage? What do priests do? What is it like to be a religious sister or brother?

Search for good information online (https://archdpdxvocations.org/), then take what you have learned back to prayer.

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.

World Day of Prayer for Vocations is this Sunday, April 26th! 🙏

God our Father, we thank You for calling men and women to serve in Your Son’s Kingdom as priests, deacons, and consecrated persons.

Send Your Holy Spirit to help others to respond generously and courageously to your call.

May our community of faith support vocations of sacrificial love in our youth and young adults.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen
