Parish Bulletin editors, Liturgical Coordinators and prayer group leaders are encouraged to pray for vocations to lay ecclesial ministry, that is non-clergy faithful authorized to lead ministries in our parishes, schools and organization, in upcoming meeting and event prayers, and in the Universal Prayers at weekend Liturgies. You may also include in your parish bulletin.
Please consider using one per week, if appropriate.
