As we begin the new year, the National Office for Vocation has decided to dedicate the first 100 days to prayer, celebrating our Church. This will have a special focus on the saints of England and Wales, recognising and celebrating how their mission here on earth led to the ultimate call to Holiness. We also want to celebrate good things that have happened in our Church; please share with us any news from your parish or diocese that can be incorporated in prayer.

Feast of The Holy Family Resources
The team at the National Office for Vocation would like to wish you all a happy and holy Christmas.
The Universal Church will celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family on Friday 27th December this year. It is a wonderful opportunity for us to celebrate the gift of family life, and of the vocation to marriage and family.

Reflecting on Vocation in Advent
With the Church now having entered a new year, the National Office for Vocation will upload a video reflection each week for Advent focusing on a different state of life that God can call individuals to, as well as reflecting on the weekly Sunday Gospel.
The pandemic has been tough in our lives – staying at home, limiting contact with friends and family, and even our Churches shutting for public acts of worship; but our spiritual life, discipleship and discernment should never stop.
