Page 6 Priesthood Sunday October 27-28 Special Collection to Ensure the Future Availability of Priests For years now we have heard about the need for vocations in the Catholic Church. Many pastors will be reaching retirement age, so we will need someone to continue their service in our parishes. Thanks to your prayers and a strong vocations program in the Diocese of Nashville, we have ordained many new priests over the past few years. Now we have 27 seminarians who are preparing to be our future diocesan priest. To help support the cost of their education, we are holding a special collection this weekend which coincides with National Priesthood Sunday. Please give generously and pray for vocations to the priesthood. You may also give online at https://dioceseofnashville.com/priesthood-sunday please choose your home parish when giving online Recycle Bowl & Can Drive The Recycle Bowl is currently underway til November 15.
