Praying for Vocations - Fr Willie Purcell

During the diocesan stage of the Universal Synod, people called for courses, resources, and dynamic spaces where they could explore or deepen their own faith, spirituality, and understanding of Scripture on a personal level. One initiative being made available in 2023 is this series of short video reflections on the Sunday Gospel each week. Watch out for a new video each week and please feel free to share these videos as widely as possible - on your websites, your social media platforms, and with others on your networks.

Pope Francis in Croke Park - Festival of Families 2018

Speaking at the 2023 National Novena in Knock, well known broadcaster Sean O'Rourke reflects on the gift of service and priesthood.

"It is right that we think about and pray for those called to the priesthood, those who have a vocation to show Christ’s love to the world in a particular way. We can all think of a priest who has made a positive difference among your family circle, friends, or community… and give thanks for his vocation.

Because we all know priests and religious who have done huge amounts of good, and offered their lives for others. And they need and deserve our support, gratitude, and prayers.

And we need more of them."
