Vocations Apostolate Ministry
-
The Vocations Apostolate Ministry was formed with the intention identify, foster, encourage, and support vocations through prayer, invitation, education, and action.
Our ministry invites others to join us in prayer supporting those discerning religious vocations, especially most holy priesthood.
We provide vocation materials and plan events that move our support of vocations into action.
We act by encouraging families to promote vocations in the home, involving parishioners through announcements and vocation-centric prayers, hosting diocesan discernment dinners for young men inquiring about the priesthood journey, and sending cards to the seminarians (birthday) and priests (anniversary of ordination) of our diocese.
St. Joseph Vocations Apostolate Ministry asks you to join them in saying:
“Thank You!” to the wonderful deacons who faithfully serve our parish!Please express your gratitude to these men of service and remember them in your prayers!
PRAYER FOR DEACONS
Lord Jesus Christ, Servant of all, send your Spirit upon our deacons as they serveYour Church
Give them eyes to see the needs of your people
Give them a discerning mind to know your truth
Give them a generous spirit when they are tired but needed
Give them a humble heart when their work goes unnoticed
Give them peace of mind in obedience and service
Give them health of body so they may serve with strength
Make them fertile ground for your inspiration and love
Comfort them when they question themselves and their ministry
Grant them grace as they age so they may share your wisdom
Make their hearts like yours so they may love your people
AMENPlease support all our priests, seminarians and deacons
