World Day of Prayer for Vocations is May 2

In the Church, much of the year is spent encouraging and fostering the vocations of all Christians. On May 2 we will concentrate on the callings to ordained ministry (priests and deacons) and consecrated life (members of religious orders and secular institutes).

World Day of Prayer for Vocations is a time to especially pray for those men and women who have served, and are serving, God's people as priests, deacons, religious sisters and brothers. Also, as we celebrate World Day of Prayer for Vocations, let us think of someone (a family member, friend, or parishioner) whom God may be calling to join the next generation of priests, sisters, or brothers. Pray for that person that they may hear God’s call and be strengthened in their vocation.
