PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS

Gracious and loving God, help the

men and women of our parish to hear the

call to serve the Church.

Our needs are great and our people

thirst for your presence.

Open the hearts of many. Raise up

faithful servants of the Gospel – dedicated,

holy priests, sisters, brothers and deacons,

who will spend themselves for your people

and their needs.

Bless all of our married couples with a rich faith

and children who desire to serve you.

Bless those who are serving now

with courage and perseverance.

Grant that many will be inspired by their

example and faith.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Blessed Junipero Serra,

courageous missionary of vocations,

pray for us!
