SAINT PAUL VI PRAYER FOR
THE FIRST WORLD DAY OF VOCATIONS,
11 APRIL 1964
"O Jesus, divine Shepherds of souls,
you called the apostles and
made them fishers of men.
Continue to draw to yourself ardent
and generous souls from among the young,
in order to make them your followers
and your ministers.
Give them a share in your thirst
for the redemption of all...
Open before them the horizons
of the entire world...
By responding to your call, may
they prolong your mission here
on earth, build your Mystical Body
which is the Church, and be
'the salt of the earth' and 'the
light of the world' (Mt 5:13)".

PRIEST TRAINING FUND SECOND COLLECTION 21ST APRIL
The priesthood has always been
essential to the life of the Church,
from the time of Jesus until today.
Good Shepherd Sunday is the day we pray for vocations, for our priests, and take up the Priest Training Fund second collection.
This fund pays for the formation of men to become priests in our Archdiocese.
After their ordination, our priests dedicate their lives to serving Christ and His people in our parishes, hospitals, schools, chaplaincies, prisons and in service to the needy, throughout South London, Kent and Surrey.
We are blessed to have 5 men in formation to the Priesthood for our Archdiocese.
However, it costs £30,000 a year
to sponsor each seminarian.
They study for 6 years before
being ordained a Catholic priest.
We therefore rely on your
generous support and prayers.
Please support our priests of the future
with a gift today. Thank you!
