Parish Vocation Crucifix Traveling Crucifix At the Unity Mass, we as a parish were invited to become a part of a new program being initiated in many parishes throughout the country. It is called the Parish Vocation Crucifix. This is how the program will work: Each weekend a family, couple, or individual will be called forward at Mass to receive the vocation Crucifix and a special prayer written to accompany it. In taking the Crucifix they commit to pray during the week, in the name of our parish, the vocation prayer in thanksgiving for all those generously sharing in Church ministry. They are also asked to pray for an increase in holy vocations All are invited to participate in this program. The Traveling Vocations Crucifix will rotate between Masses each week. Please contact Mary Ann Matteson 210-241-5511 or mattesonmaryann@yahoo.com to sign up to participate. Para español llamar a la oficina de la iglesia. We believe the Spirit is calling forth men and women from our faith community to these roles of service. May our prayer help inspire young women and men to be attentive to the movement of the Spirit within them and to step forward in faith and with generous hearts to wherever the Spirit leads them. It is our hope that this experience will encourage each of us to take seriously our vocation as a member of the Body of Christ and encourage ALL of us to pray for the gift of vocations to priesthood and religious life (not just the family with the Crucifix for the week).
