Vocations

Vocations Cross Weekend

The Vocations Cross reminds us that we all are called to live a life of holiness. On the first full weekend of the month, we will invite a parish ministry to coordinate its members to receive a Cross at each Mass to take home and pray for vocations.

Prayer for Vocations

Loving and Generous God,
it is you who call us by name and ask us to follow you.
Help us to grow in the Love and Service of our Church as we experience it today.
Give us the energy and courage of Your Spirit to shape its future.
Grant us faith-filled leaders who will embrace Christ's Mission of love and justice.
Bless the Church of Saint Michael the Archangel by raising up dedicated and generous leaders from our families and friends who will serve your people as sisters, priests, brothers, deacons, and lay ministers.
Inspire us to know you better and open our hearts to hear your call.
We ask this through our Lord.
Amen.
