National Vocations Awareness Week
November 3-9, 2024
National Vocations Awareness Week, celebrated November 3 – 9, 2024 is an annual weeklong celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States dedicated to promoting vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our support for those considering one of these vocations.
Please ask our Lord for more dedicated holy priests, deacons, and consecrated men and women. May they be inspired by Jesus Christ, supported by our faith community, and respond generously to God’s gift of vocation. Please join us in promoting vocations at serradetroit.org
Prayer for Vocations
God our Father, we thank you for
Calling men and women to serve in your
Son’s Kingdom as priests, deacons, and
consecrated persons. Send your Holy Spirit
to help others to respond generously and
courageously to your call. May our community
of faith support vocations of sacrificial love in
our youth and young adults.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and
reigns with you in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
