We therefore warmly invite and encourage you and your loved ones to join the Pastoral community for a vigil of prayer on Thursday 2nd May in St Michaels Parish at 7.30pm, <\/i><\/b>Refreshments will be available in the Parish Centre afterwards. <\/i>At the vigil a Vocations Novena will be launched which you can pray at home individually, or with family and friends. This will lead us into the celebration of the Parish Eucharist on Good Shepherd Sunday. Copies of the Novena are available as you leave Mass today. Together, let us pray that all of us hear the call to follow Jesus closely and respond to it with open minds and big hearts, and that more will do so as priests and religious.
