What is National
Vocations Week?National Vocations Week, celebrated Nov 3 -9, 2024, is an annual week-along celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States dedicated to promote vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particular vocations.
Here in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the faithful are invited to pray, honor, celebrate, foster, and to encourage a Culture of Vocations. -

MINISTERS OF CHRIST AND THE CHURCH.
WE COME BEFORE YOU NOW, ASKING THAT
YOU CALL FORTH MORE MEN TO SERVE IN THE
MINISTERIAL PRIESTHOOD.
GIVE US PRIEST WHO WILL LEAD AND GUIDE YOUR
HOLY PEOPLE GATHERED BY WORD AND SACRAMENT.
BLESS US WITH PRIESTLY VOCATIONS SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO BE A TRULY EUCHARISTIC CHURCH, STRENGTHENED IN OUR DISCIPLESHIP
OF JESUS CHRIST, YOUR ONLY SON.
RAISE UP, WE PRAY, MEN WHO ARE GENEROUS IN
THEIR SERVICE, WILING TO OFFER THEIR LIVES AND
ALL THEIR GIFTS FOR YOUR GREATER FLORY AND FOR
THE GOOD OF YOUR PEOPLE.
WE MAKE OUR PRAYER IN THE PRESENCE AND
POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THROUGH
CHRIST, OUR LORD.

GRANT THEM THE WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING, AND STRENGTH THEY NEED TO FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS. INSPIRE THEM WITH THE VISION OF YOUR KINGDOM.
GIVE THEM THE WORDS THEY NEED TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL. ALLOW THEM TO EXPERIENCE JOY IN THEIR MINISTRY.
HELP THEM TO BECOME INSTRUMENTS OF YOUR DIVINE GRACE.
WE ASK THIS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, WHO LIVES AND REIGNS AS OUR ETERNAL PRIEST.
AMEN
