We've introduced a new ministry: the traveling Vocations Chalice. This ministry is meant to encourage our parish families to pray for vocations and to promote vocations within our own families. The chalice serves as a visible reminder to pray and bring the Mass home with us- the joy, the gratitude, and the mission to share the love of Christ with others in our families and our workplaces.

How does it work?
Each week, a family will have the opportunity to commit to a week of vocation-centered prayer and take the chalice home with them. Together as a family, the household gathers to pray for vocations at least once a day. This could be first thing in the morning, at a meal, or perhaps before bed.

If you would like to sign your family up to host the chalice for a week, you can sign up at the Welcome Center! Madison Burton will be in touch with you to schedule a week. After spending a week praying with your family, we ask that you bring the chalice back to the parish office by Friday at Noon in order to pass it along to the next family. This ministry is a hands-on way to grow in your prayer life as an individual and as a family. We encourage you to give it a try!
