Mass of Prayer for Vocations


On Sunday, October 30, our Archbishop calls again everyone to pray together for voacations during the Mass he will celebrate at 12:00 noon in the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark. Following the Mass, people are invited to gather for fellowship and refreshments in the Archdiocesan Center where the Vocations office, seminaries and religious communities in the Archdiocese will have tables set up to provide information to our young people about priesthood and consecrated life. Music during this time of fellowship will be provided by the Seminarians of the Immaculate Conception Seminary.

This celebration is not only for those discerning their vocation, but it is an opportunity for the entire Church of Newark to pray for vocations. It is our hope that this time together will celebrate priesthood and consecrated life and help our young people remain open as they discern the Lord's call in their own lives in a spirit of joy and friendship.

For more information, please call Rev. John Gabriel, RCAN Vocations Director at 973-497-4365 or Sr. Theresa Maria Hollschlag, Associate Vocations Director at 973-497-4368.
