Vocations News

Pope's Benedict's 2013 World Day of Prayer for Vocations.

Camp St. Michael – For the last seventeen years, the Office of Vocations, along with the seminarians of the archdiocese, have sponsored a two-and-half-day vocations camp for boys, grades 5 through 8. Due to the announcement of the closing of the Elden F. Curtiss Youth Camp and Retreat Center, the Office of Vocations regrets they will not be hosting Camp St. Michael this year.

Check out "Meet the Seminarians" and read all about them.

O my Jesus, I beg You on behalf of the whole Church: Grant it love and the light of Your Spirit and give power to the words of priests so that hardened hearts might be brought to repentance and return to You, O Lord. Lord, give us holy priests; You Yourself maintain them in holiness. O Divine and Great High Priest, may the power of Your mercy accompany them everywhere and protect them from the devil's traps and snares which are continually being set for the souls of priests. May the power of Your mercy, O Lord, shatter and bring to naught all that might tarnish the sanctity of priests, for You can do all things. I ask You, Jesus, for a special blessing and for light for the priests before whom I will make my confessions throughout my lifetime. Amen.
