Prayer for Veterans The Catholic Church in the United States celebrates National Vocation Awareness Week November 5-11, 2017. The purpose of this week is to pray that all young people will be open to God s plan in their lives. While young people face many grave challenges in responding to God s call, there are some signs of hope for the future of the Church in the United States. For example, in the past ten years, there has been a steady increase in the number of seminarians studying for the priesthood in the United States. Dave Nowak's Polish Dinner Fundraiser Heavenly Father, on this day, help us remember those who gave of themselves to keep us safe and secure. Enkindle in our consciences a desire to serve those who served their country selflessly. Give us the grace to aid those who have given aid and protection to us and others both here and overseas. Let us never forget the causes for which they fought or the bravery they showed on the battlefield. May we be always be mindful of those who paid the price for our freedom, just as your Son gave his life to free us from the bondage of sin. Amen.
