Vocations Chalice

Pray for Vocations

---

Many older Catholics remember parish life and schools staffed by an abundance of priests and sisters, but younger Catholics have grown up with little or no experience of women and men in religious life. To raise the awareness level of the need to pray for vocations, St. Augustine’s is proud to institute the Vocation Chalice Program.

The Vocation Chalice reminds us that it is the responsibility of the laity of our parish to pray and foster vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Each week a family or individual takes home the chalice cup where they will place it in a place of significance in their home. They can place it on their kitchen / dining room tables during meals and engage in faith sharing about “Vocations”. After the sharing, a different person offers prayers from the prayer booklet provided focused on creating a culture of “Vocations” in the home and in the parish. Throughout the week they are asked to pray for an increase in vocations and for our current priests, deacons, and religious sisters and brothers.

How can you be a catalyst for change and increase vocations to the priesthood?
