We invite you to join us in praying for vocations!

Vocation Prayer:

Loving God, thank you for the gifts and talents you have given me. In turn, I pray that I can share these gifts with others. The Church needs generous and loving people for service and leadership. Help me to know what is mine to do so that I can respond generously to this need. Holy Spirit, guide me to become the kind of person you desire me to be. Help me to trust, to listen and to be obedient to your Holy will. This I ask in Jesus' name. Amen.

Jubilarians

Each year we celebrate the jubilees of our Sisters who have been shaped by God’s hand into women full of grace with a clear vision and deep faith. Jubilee is that time when we mark the milestones of ministry in a world where anniversaries do not often reach double digits. We hope you will be touched by their faith as many of you have been touched by their presence in your life.
