World Day of Prayer for Vocations is April 26. Our Church encourages all the faithful to pray for young
people to respond affirmatively to God's call to service in priesthood and religious life. This prayer will
be recited at the end of all Masses this weekend, April 25/26, but all are encouraged to pray yearround for more vocations, especially for vocations to religious orders in this Year of Consecrated Life.
Prayer for Vocations
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 t he unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever.
Amen.
Welcome New Members of
the Church!
Please keep in your prayers the
17 people who became members of St. Francis of Assisi at the
Easter Vigil.
These neophytes
(new members of the Church),
their families, and their sponsors have journeyed together the entire year as they prepared to receive
the Sacraments of Initiation. They could not have
done this without the prayers and support of their
parish family. Thank you all for your support and
please keep the neophytes in your prayers as their
journey of faith is just beginning.
Vocation View
On this Good Shepherd Sunday we celebrate World
Day of Prayer for vocations. Pray for an increase in
vocations to priesthood, diaconate, and religious
life. May God raise up good shepherds in our midst.
(1 John 3:1-2)
