National Vocation Awareness Week

From November 5 – 11, the nation will celebrate National Vocation Awareness Week (NVAW) through prayer, education, and promotion for all vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and consecrated life.

Join us for a Holy Hour of Adoration to pray for our priests, seminarians, and all those who are discerning their vocation. The participating parishes are listed below in the "Holy Hour Adoration Schedule" PDF.
