6 1. The faithful of the parish should be active in praying for priestly and religious vocations particularly before the Blessed Sacrament. Additionally, there should be some type of ongoing prayer for vocations, including but not limited to the Prayers of the Faithful, such as a traveling cross or chalice at mass which can have a very powerful impact on a parish. (The Office of Vocations has prayers and traveling cross or chalice programs that easily fits into the Sunday liturgy) 2. Priests should be a visible, recognizable and joyful presence in the parish. This should be especially true when there are gatherings of children and youth (school, religious education, youth ministry). There should be a greater willingness to take the time to be present to children and participate in youth events. 3. Each parish should have an established Parish Vocation Team or Committee that is supported by the pastor which can help coordinate yearly events, sponsor/coordinate parish vocation activities as well as help to keep vocations a parish priority. (the Office of Vocations is willing to help you start a new PVET in your parish.)
7 4. Priests and deacons should share their stories with those they serve, not only of their vocation story, but their daily lives and how their vocation effects them. They shouldn t shy away from preaching about vocations and especially to encourage parents to be more open to the possibility of priesthood or religious life for their children. 5. Parishes should be welcoming of families at mass and in a particular way provide solid catechesis for children and youth as well as provide opportunities for greater liturgical participation. 6. Priests should be willing to go to dinner in family homes, open up the rectory for visitors, be inviting, especially to young families, or provide some other type of casual interaction outside of Sunday or other parish events.
8 7. Parish staff should have a knowledge of vocation resources available (e.g. vocation website, dvd s, petitions, etc.) and should make use of them on a regular basis. 8. All priests in the parish should specifically encourage individuals within the parish whom they think might have a priestly or religious vocation to participate in diocesan sponsored discernment opportunities (e.g. St. Andrew Dinners, seminary trips, retreats, etc.). 9. Mention should also be given to vocations to the religious life for women and men. There should be similar encouragement and opportunities made available for religious sisters and brothers to speak at parishes, especially through intergenerational programs.
9 10. Parishioners should be provided with opportunities to connect with our diocesan seminarians in person or through correspondence. Try to promote a greater education regarding who our seminarians are, the process of discernment and formation, and continued acceptance within a parish community if a particular candidate leaves formation.
