The Church provides a Mass for Vocations to Holy Orders in her Masses for Various Needs and Occasions, for the “pastoral advantage” of the community, praying that those called to Holy Orders (to be deacons, priests and bishops) may hear and answer the call.

Here are resources to help prepare such a Mass to be celebrated in a parish, school or for occasions such as a deanery gathering.
