Vocations

Today is the Memorial of St. John Vianney, the patron of diocesan priests.  Please ask him to help young men to consider a vocation to priesthood.  Studies show that young men oftentimes begin to consider the priesthood when someone asks them if they ever thought of becoming a priest.  I recall the nuns in grammar school doing just that on a regular basis.  It has been noted on this blog before that Christ the King is celebrating one of its own going to the Seminary in a few weeks.  That does not mean he will automatically be ordained in six years but it does mean he will continue to discern whether or not he feels called to priesthood.  Please say a prayer for Matt Laird as he takes this important step in his life.
