WO C A T I O N S S U N D A Y : Today – Good Shepherd Sunday - is the World Day of Prayer for

Vocations to the Priesthood and Consecrated Life. We will be taking our annual retiring collection for the Priests’ Training Fund. Just to remind you that it costs £50 a day to train a priest. Our Diocese has five students undergoing training at the moment. We pray for them each week and we should always be praying for new potential priests for our diocese. Perhaps we need to look and encourage our families to start listening to what God may be calling them to be!
