A number of Churches around us have been merged or closed due to the decline to the decline in the number of priests to serve them. To increase this numberwe need to pray or encourage young men to enter the seminary and priesthood. Our Elijah Cup program is geared to do just that: pray for religious vocations. This special chalice is used at Mass and then purified and given to a family or individual to take home for the week. It is placed in a special place and each day prayers are offered for vocations. A book of prayers accompanies the chalice or you can offer your own particular prayers. So, please, sign up for a week and offer your personal prayers for vocations. The sign in book is on the Information Booth. Churches around us have been merged or closed due to the decline in the number of priests to serve them.
