World Day of Prayer for Vocations Pope Paul VI instituted the World Day of Prayer for Vocations (the 4th Sunday of Easter) on the 11th April 1964 by saying;
“O Jesus, divine Shepherd of the spirit, you have called the Apostles in order to make them fishermen of men, you still attract to you burning spirits and generous young people, in order to render them your followers and ministers to us” (Pope Paul VI launching the 1st Word Day of Prayer for Vocations)
We pray for all those who dedicate their lives in service of others and the church. In particular we pray for those who may be considering priesthood or religious life.
“Priestly ministry brings satisfaction, again not the satisfaction of security, but the satisfaction of following the path of Jesus which opens to light and hope, the satisfaction of serving others”.
Archbishop Diarmuid Martin.
If you wish to find out more about priesthood or religious life, see http://www.priest.ie/ or why not contact Fr. Eamonn Bourke at
