Day of Prayer for Vocations to the Priesthood and Consecrated Life
The Day of Prayer for Vocations to the Priesthood and Consecrated Life this year will be celebrated on Sunday 7th May. It flows from the broader culture of vocation, and is when the universal Church asks the Lord to send more labourers to the harvest as priests and religious. The theme for this year is ‘Called: extra-ordinary’.
For an explanation on the theme, please read this letter by Sr Elaine Penrice, who designed this year’s resources. You will be able to download a lot of the resources here below, which can be used in your parish, school or community.
