VOCATION VIEW

God does not ask you to be successful.
God does ask you to be faithful.
Put your vocation ahead of your career.

Prayer for Vocations

O God. who has chosen the Apostles to propagate the faith & to establish Your Holy Church throughout the world, we earnestly beseech You to choose from amongst our people many priests, deacons, religious brothers & sisters and lay persons who will gladly devote their entire lives in making YOU known & loved by all. Through the intercession of our Blessed Lady, we ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

Joke

A mother and her young son returned from the grocery store and began putting away the groceries. The boy opened the box of animal crackers and spread them all over the table. “What are you doing?” his mother asked. “The box says not to eat them if the seal is broken,” the boy explained. “I’m looking for the seal.”
