National Vocations Awareness Week begins

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES WILL COMMEMORATE “National Vocation Awareness Week,” November 3-9. Each year, dioceses, parishes, and schools in our country take the opportunity to raise awareness for vocations, particularly those who are discerning a vocation to the priesthood or consecrated life.

We pray with gratitude for those who seek and respond in their daily lives to their vocation, whether that be as husbands, wives, parents, priests and other ordained ministers, and consecrated persons. And during “National Vocation Awareness Week,” we celebrate in a special way, the men and women who offer their lives to God through a life of service to the Church, “sowing seeds of hope and revealing to all the beauty of God’s kingdom’” as the Pope Francis says in his message for World Day of Prayer for Vocations.
