Priesthood and Religious Life

Jesus, good and gentle Shepherd,

grant that the men and women from our community may have the grace and courage to hear and answer your call to priesthood and religious life.

Give them the wisdom to relise that life is a gift. Let them realise their life is part of your plan.

Call forth those you have chosen to spread the Gospel message, and help them to freely respond to a life of service in the Church.

May the parents and families of our diocese support and encourage our young men and women to search for, follow and answer the call of God in their lives.

Amen
