The Bishop and the Vocations Director

It is not enough to discover Christ.... you must bring Him to others" Pope John Paul II

Prayer to Our Lady for Vocations

Most holy Virgin, who without hesitation
offered yourself to the Almighty
for the carrying out of his plan of salvation,
pour trust into the hearts of young people
so that there may always be zealous pastors
who are able to guide the Christian people on the way of life,
and consecrated souls who may know how to witness,
in chastity, poverty, and obedience,
to the freeing presence of your risen Son.
Amen. 

(Pope John Paul II , Message for Vocations Sunday 2001)
