PARISH ANNOUNCEMENTS
WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS GOOD SHEPHERD SUNDAY, APRIL 21, 2024
The Church throughout the world prays for vocations. Will you make a special effort to ask the Lord for vocations to the priesthood and religious life? Pray for the priests who have ministered to you throughout your life, both living and dead. Encourage your children, grandchildren, or other young people to consider a vocation as a priest or religious brother or sister. Pray a rosary for more young men and women in our diocese to respond to God’s call.

Next weekend Sunday, April 28th, the 2nd collection is for the Catholic Home Missions and Black and Indian Missions.
