Are you or is anyone you know interested in becoming a priest or a deacon?
It is our responsibility to raise awareness about vocations in the church: God calls each of us to holiness by a certain and particular way of life. In calling us to a particular vocation in life, God has in mind the living of our life fully.
If you want to know more about the priesthood, please talk with Fr Gagnier.
Pray for vocations in the Church:
Vocations Prayer
Lord, let me know clearly the work you are calling me to do.
Grant me the grace and generosity I need to answer your call with courage and love,
for to do your will is my joy and my peace. Amen.
A prayer for Priestly Vocations
O Lord, my God, You renew the Church in every age by raising up priests outstanding in holiness, living witnesses of Your unchanging Love. In Your Plan for our salvation You provide shepherds for Your people. Fill the hearts of young men with the spirit of courage and love that they may answer Your call generously. Give parents the grace to encourage vocations in their family by prayer and good example. Raise up worthy priests for Your Altars and ardent, but gentle servants of the Gospel. Give the Church more priests and keep them faithful in their love and service. May many young men choose to serve You by devoting themselves to the service of Your people.
