Sacramento Vocations

Today is World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests! 🙏

Established by St. John Paul II in 2002, this celebration occurs annually on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

On this day, the Church encourages priests to prayerfully reflect upon the gift of their vocation. The faithful are also invited to mark this celebration by praying for all priests that they may live lives of holiness and fidelity to Christ and his Church.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us and all our priests!

Join us today on the river and at mass for the feast of Corpus Christi!

Unsure about participating in Sunday's Corpus Christi procession?
Pope Leo has some encouragement!

“An expression of popular Eucharistic devotion is found in the processions with the Blessed Sacrament that take place in the streets of many towns and countries; in this regard, I encourage you to keep alive this beautiful manifestation of public witness to the faith.”

Join us this Sunday on the river and in the streets as we accompany Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament and bear witness to our Faith and the True Presence.

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.

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://www.scd.org/vocations), then take what you have learned back to prayer.

We were blessed to gather with our Religious Women & Men and Diocesan Priests earlier this week. We are so thankful for their faithful witness and the many ways they inspire vocations in our diocese!

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.
