World Day of Prayer for Vocations - Good Shepherd Sunday

Sunday, April 25, 2021 also known as " Good Shepherd Sunday", is observed as "World Day of Prayer for Vocations". The purpose of this day is to publicly fulfill the Lord's instruction to, "Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest" (Mt 9:38; Lk 10:2). Please consider praying during adoration, or at any other time, especially this week: • That young men and women hear and respond generously to the Lord's call to the priest-hood, diaconate, or consecrated life. • That our parish priests and deacons, as well as those in formation to the diaconate and priesthood, continue to receive God's grace of perseverance in their faithfulness responding to God's call.
