the laborers are few! Please pray for young men to discern
a vocation to the priesthood. With so much negative press
about a small number of priests we must support those
considering the priesthood with our prayers and let it be
known that we do have wonderful faithful men who serve
God and His flock devotedly. Each month on the
Thursday before First Friday we will have a
VOCATIONS HOLY HOUR.
