A Eucharistic Prayer Vigil for Vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life will take place in Church of Mary, Mother of the Church, Saintfield, Co. Down on Thursday 30th April 2015 from 7.30pm — 10pm. The Vigil will conclude with Mass at 9pm.
“ Behind and before every vocation to the priesthood or to the consecrated life there is always the strong and intense prayer of someone: a grandmother, a grandfather, a mother, a father, a community…. This is why
Jesus said: “ Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest,” that is, God the Father, “ to send out labourers into his harvest” (Mt 9:38). May these words of Pope Francis encourage us to come together to pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life remembering that vocations are born in prayer and from prayer; and only through prayer can they persevere and bear fruit.
