5 Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine. ISAIAH 43.1 For our good, and the good of all His holy Church. ************************** God calls each of us to serve Him in a particular way, at a paricular time and place. As we look toward the future of the Church, there is always a need for a new generation of priests to join the ranks, going forth and spreading the Gospel while ministering to the beloved flock of Our Lord. This November, join parishioners throughout the Archdiocese in suggesting the name of men that may be called to the priesthood. 82% of priests discerned their priestly vocation after someone else, often in their parish, suggested that they consider the priesthood. Think of the men in your parish. Who among them may God be calling to His service? Interested in helping? Contact your parish office or the Vocation Office at or fr.sdelacy@archpila.org for more information.
