Ask Jesus for More Priests
Pray for Vocations
Fr. Jack Schrader
Your Prayers are Powerful!
Every vocation is born in prayer. Your intercession helps young men and women say “yes” to the call of Jesus. Will you pledge to pray for our seminarians, as well as the men who are discerning the priesthood?

Our Diocesan Prayer for Vocations
O God, hear our prayer, and let our cry come unto You. Bless our Diocese of Fall River with many vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and religious life. Give the men and women You call the light to understand Your gift and the love to follow always in the footsteps of Your priestly Son.
Amen
THE 11TH AVE
Pray one additional Hail Mary per decade when you pray the rosary, saying:
“The eleventh Ave is for priestly vocations in the Diocese of Fall River; that we help men hear their calling.”

Why pledge to pray
The first thing that the Lord tells us to do when seeking more shepherds is to ask the master of the harvest (Mt. 9:38). Only God can move the hearts of men and women to consider the priesthood and religious life – no homily, invitation, or other initiatives will bear fruit without His grace. Join hundreds of others in praying that young men and women hear and respond generously to the Lord’s call to the priesthood and religious life.
Prayer works
“Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” – Matthew 18: 19-20
