Vocation Cross

Beginning Sunday, May 11 the Vocation Cross exchange will take place at the 8AM Mass. This change will give the 8 o'clockers an opportunity to be a part of this wonderful, prayerful program. The first exchange will be presented by a school family to another who has volunteered to accept the cross for the week. They are then asked to pray for vocations for priests, deacons, women religious and laity throughout the week. At the 8AM Mass on Sunday, the cross is then handed over to another volunteer family or individual. In order to be successful, we need people to volunteer. A sign up sheet and a Vocation Committee member will be present after the Mass. Pope Benedict spoke often during his recent visit to pray for vocations. Let's do our part!
