A parish vocation ministry ensures that every parish fosters an environment where each baptized person can joyfully explore the potential of God’s call in his or her life by providing resources for prayer and discernment.
Why Have a Vocation Ministry?
Diocesan Prayer for Vocations
Father, since you breathed life into us, you had a plan for the Body of Christ, the Church. From the beginning, you have called men and women into roles of joyful sacrifice and generosity for the sake of your Kingdom. The world is in need of more souls confident to cry out with a resounding yes to your call and invitation. We ask that from our families you would inspire Sons and Daughters to offer their lives back to the Church as priests and religious, especially here in the Diocese of Rockford.
Drawing near to the Heart of your Son, we pray: Jesus, I trust in You. Amen.
– Fr. Robert Blood
