Pray for Vocations and Pray for our Seminarians http://www.vocations-syracuse.org/seminarians.htm
Loving God, you sent your Spirit on the apostles to continue the mission of your Son, Jesus. We pray that you will now send your Spirit on our bishops, priests, deacons, sisters and brothers, filling them with zeal to evangelize your people.
We pray for all that are presently discerning your call, those in vocational formation and those preparing them. We pray that you bless our diocese with more priests and deacons, and religious congregations with new members.
Mary our Mother and patroness intercede for us that our pastoral needs may be fulfilled through Him who is Lord for ever and ever. Amen.
Men in Black
"In the name of the father, son and holy spirit… let's play ball."
With that inspirational message a 'Men in Black' basketball game begins. Father Joe O'Connor, director of Vocation Promotion for the Syracuse Diocese and coordinator of the game, said the event is a fun way to remind young men that the Catholic priesthood is a fun and healthy vocational option.
