DIOCESAN VOCATIONS MONTH Bishop Crosby has designated October as Diocesan Vocations Month. Each Sunday, we will have an intercession for vocations, and before the end of Mass, we will pray together a prayer for vocations. This shared prayer is a powerful expression of our unity and shared responsibility in fostering vocations. You are also encouraged to pray for vocations throughout the month. Moreover, if you know someone who you think should consider a particular vocation, such as marriage, priesthood or consecrated virginity lived in the world, be sure to tell that person. For more information, visit https://hamiltondiocese.com/vocations.   During October, the Month of the Holy Rosary, we especially seek the intercession of Mary, and so we pray: O Mary,  who raised your Divine Son  with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, intercede for all young people,  especially those clouded by doubt about their vocations.   May the light of grace pierce their hearts  so that they may answer your Son’s call,  especially those whom he is inviting  to the priesthood and consecrated life. Amen MASS INTENTIONS If you would like to have a Mass celebrated on behalf of a loved one, please contact the office, or submit a request online to have that intention put into the calendar.  Current Week's Intentions ➵ Bishop Crosby's Heart-to-Heart Reignite Hope: Youth Ministers’ Retreat ReStart: Moving Forward Marian Days Society of Saint Vincent de Paul Fundraiser Forward Together in Christ September Announcements Facebook Twitter Instagram Website YouTube Copyright © 2024 Canadian Martyrs Catholic Church & Chaplaincy, All rights reserved.
