"The sanctity of the priesthood is truly the first and principal strength of the Church."
Pope John XXIII, 12 June 1959. (Catholic Standart and Times, V. 64; #38)
Prayer for Vocation in our Parish
O God, Eternal High Priest, Who by
inspiring others to embrace Thy Holy Priesthood has kept this parish
supplied with zealous
and devoted priests, we would have Thee know we are grateful. But, dear
God, to keep this parish and other parishes of the dioceses
supplied with priests, we beg a further manifestation of Thy love – by
calling some of our youth to enter the seminary and prepare
for ordination to the priesthood.
We further implore you, dear God, to bless our family life, the source
of our priestly vocations, Amen.
O Mary, Queen of the Clergy help us have priests from this parish.
Bishop Martin M Johnson of Nelson, British Columbia Canada (22 january 1951, Catholic News Service)
