Year of Prayer for Priestly Vocations



“MAY IT BE DONE TO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.” (Luke 1:38)

A vocation to the priesthood is an answer to Jesus’ call to participate in His work. Christ is the One who calls. The Diocese of Covington has been blessed to have a number of men who have responded to Christ’s call. These men will need the love and support of the community to complete their journey. Estimated Diocesan cost for providing our seminarians with tuition, books, room and board, health insurance, living allowances and retreats for the coming year will amount to $50,000.00 per seminarian. You can help by making an immediate gift to the Seminarian Education Fund. Please pray daily for our seminarians and for an increase in vocations to the priesthood.

CLOSING VESPERS FOR THE YEAR OF PRAYER FOR PRIESTLY VOCATIONS

All are invited to attend the Closing Vespers for the Year of Prayer for Priestly Vocations on Sunday, November 25, 2018, the Feast of Christ the King, at 3:00 p.m. in the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption in Covington. Bishop Foys opened the Year of Prayer for Priestly Vocations last year on the Feast of Christ the King to encourage all the faithful of the Diocese to actively pray, both privately and as a community, for those men who are currently in formation for the priesthood and for those men in our diocese whom the Lord is calling to the priesthood. Please consider joining Bishop Foys and the priests, deacons, and lay faithful of the Diocese for this momentous occasion as we give thanks for the graces of this past year and continue to pray for priestly vocations in our diocese. A reception will follow vespers in Bishop Howard Memorial Auditorium.

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS

God, our Father, You made each of us to use our gifts in the Body of Christ. We ask that you inspire those in our Diocese whom you are calling to the priesthood to courageously follow Your will. Send laborers into Your great harvest so that the Gospel is preached, the poor are served with love, the suffering are comforted, and your people are strengthened by the sacraments. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Please personally encourage men to consider a vocation to the priesthood.
