World Day of Prayer for Vocations

It was in 1963 that Pope Paul VI designated Good Shepherd Sunday, which fell on April 13th this year, as the World Day of Prayer for Vocations.
The Church has made it clear that all vocations are honorable, namely marriage, priesthood, the single life and religious life and should be celebrated. To rejoice in their own vocations and pray for those in discernment, a group of invited guests and the Sisters gathered in Sacred Heart's beautifully, renovated chapel at 2:00 p.m. to reflect and pray. The prayer service focused on the Good Shepherd calling all baptized Christians by name, a voice made audible only when listening  with the ear of the heart making it possible to respond to God's specific plan for each discerning person.
The prayer experience was followed by a tour of the renovated monastery and then celebrated with fellowship and light refreshments in the monastic dining room.
