Priesthood Sunday is a time to celebrate and affirm the men who commit their lives to the Lord and the Church in the Sacrament of Holy Orders. It is an opportunity for Catholic parishioners to thank, affirm, and share their love and support for our priests. On this day, we encourage you to make a commitment to pray for all priests and especially for their own parish priests. It is also a time to pray for vocations to priesthood and to encourage young men to courageously seek God’s will and follow his call. Let’s show our appreciation for Fr. Kalombo & Fr. Basilio by sending them a card or other form of encouragement.
Diocesan Prayer for Vocations God our Father, we thank you for calling men and women from the Diocese of Owensboro to serve in your Son’s kingdom as priests, deacons and religious. We pray that you continue to inspire young men and women to respond courageously to your call and give themselves generously to the Church in service of the Gospel. Pour out your Holy Spirit upon our parishes, schools, and families and assist us in building a culture of vocations in which many will hear your call to serve your people. Help us to remain faithful to the call of the Gospel as we support and encourage vocations of sacrificial love in our youth. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us!
