St. Therese of Lisieux Vocation Society
The St. Thérèse Vocation Society invites the faithful to support vocations through prayer, sacrifice, and spiritual offering from home. Inspired by St. Thérèse’s “vocation of love,” members pray for an increase in vocations, the sanctification of priests and seminarians, and the perseverance of those in formation.
As a cloistered nun in a Carmelite Monastery, St. Therese of Lisieux knew deeply the call of God within her. She responded to her “vocation of love” with confidence and embraced the sacrifices that God asked of her. St. Therese was known especially for her prayers for priests and her desire to be “an apostle to apostles.” This is a fantastic opportunity for those who are homebound, suffering from illness, or anyone who wishes to join us in intentional prayer and sacrifice for vocations within our Diocese from home.
Members of the St. Thérèse Vocation Society will pledge to:
- Offer daily prayers for an increase of vocations and the sanctification of our priests and seminarians.
- Make a Holy Hour each week (in Church or at home) for an increase in vocations in our diocese, for the perseverance of the seminarians now studying for the priesthood and the men and women in formation for consecrated life.
- Attend Mass once a month (illness excusing) for these same intentions.
- Offer any sufferings they may experience for an increase in vocations in our diocese and an increase in zeal, fervor and grace for our priests, deacons and consecrated religious men and women serving our diocese.
