How Can You Help Increase Priestly Vocations?
St Joseph's BVM Sodality has a pro-gram devoted to praying for priestly vocations. Families or individuals volunteer to take home a cru-cifix for one week and daily recite the prayer for vocations. This is a simple prayer to inspire men to serve God and His church and follow in His footsteps. There is a sign up sheet in the entrance of the church; Please choose the week you participate. When it is your designated week, pick up the crucifix in the sacristy on Saturday/ Sunday and sign it out. Please return and sign in by the 4 pm the follow-ing Saturday so it is available for the next family.
The Vocation Crucifix has been signed out by the following parishioner (s) for the weeks of:
July 16th—The Las Family July 23—Mark Wilson
