Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let’s not forget the victims of the coronavirus. So much suffering, so

many people who lost their lives; and so many volunteers, doctors, nurses, sisters, priests, who also lost their lives. Let us remember the families

who have suffered because of this.

God has no need to be defended by anyone and does not want His name to be used to terrorize

people. We call upon everyone to stop using religions to incite hatred, violence, extremism and

blind fanaticism. #HumanFraternity

We thank you for your prayers and your

support!

Prayer for Vocations Lord Jesus, we pray to you for the Catholic Priesthood. Give us

more priests, but most especially we ask you to give us holy priests. Messengers of a truth that is all-encompassing and eternal, holy

priests who know how to offer this truth to the people of their own time and place. Holy men for today, priests firmly rooted in the

tradition, yet imbued with the spirit of this age. They have undertak-en a mission in your name, Lord. May the reflection of your power in them always make it clear that they are your witnesses. Grant that they may conform their lives to the paschal mystery that they celebrate each

day in the Eucharist. May they sense in this mystery the anxious hunger of the world and of their own brothers and sisters for salvation. May the know, despite this hunger, how to respect the spiritual freedom of others; for it is your word which has given the world a taste for this freedom. May the understand and speak the language of their own time. And may they be careful never to compromise, with opinions that come and go, the imperishable newness of your Gospel. May they always keep through the dark wintry night the soul and obstinate hope for the springtime to come. And when they meet those who persecute

you, may they always remember the road to Damascus and the hidden ways of your providence. ~Amen

Called to be a Deacon?

A Deacon is ordained by the

Bishop to minister to the needy and

the poor, and to be a minister of Word

and Sacrament. While all Christians are called to serve others,

the Deacon is an official sign of this service, and through his receiving the sacrament of Holy Orders, he solemnly promises to be a living

example of such service for others. An ordained Permanent Deacon reaches out to be of service

in the Church, and in this way, incarnates the presence of Jesus in his church, his family, the workplace, and his community. To learn more, contact the diocesan Office of the Permanent

Diaconate for further information at 559-493-2840
