Vocations
Almighty and eternal God, in Your plan for our salvation You provide priests as shepherds for Your people.

Mary, Our Mother and Our Example
During the month of May, we turn at least a part of our spiritual attention to focus on the Mother of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary. During this month we sing hymns in honor of the Mother of God, some parishes will hold special Marian Devotions, others will have a
