TRAVELING CRUCIFIX

Beginning this Lent, the Vocation Committee invites interested families to receive the Vocations Crucifix in their homes and to pray in a special way for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life. During the week, the family displays the crucifix in their prayer corner, mantle or other prominent place to gather daily for a time of prayer. Then at the end of the week, return the crucifix to the gathering space for the next family to enjoy for the upcoming week.

If your family would like to participate in the Vocations Crucifix Program for a week or have any questions, please contact Lori Lutz, 777-7756, or LoriLutz@fuse.net  to sign up for a week.

DISCERNMENT

God makes it possible for everyone to experience genuine fulfillment, real meaning and lasting joy. These gifts are meant to be found in one’s vocation; the unique way designed by God that one is meant to live and celebrate one’s gift of life. Discovering your vocation starts with knowing more about yourself, more about God and more about the world around you.

Your vocation may not be clear right now – don’t fret! It’s there for you to find, and find it you will. With self-reflection, daily prayer, regular participation in the Holy Mass and the help of others you can sift through the collection of competing voices and come to hear God’s call that is spoken personally to you. First seek God’s call and everything else will fall into place.

Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Matthew 9:37-38. If you feel called to the priesthood, consecrated life, or permanent diaconate please contact Father Geoff Drew at the parish office at 777-4322.
