Father Roger would like us to resume our practice of Praying for Vocations. There have been tangible results from our faithfulness in these prayer times

with our families. We will start with the parishioners at the 5 PM Mass during March and April. Please sign up in the Narthex for the week that you would like to take the cross home as your reminder to pray that week for youth to respond

to a life of dedicated service to the Lord. Return the cross to the ushers at the Mass you attend. See Trish Harmon for details.
