Observing World Day of Prayer for Vocations / Respetando el Dia Mundial de Oración por las Vocaciones
The best way to foster vocations to the priesthood and religious life is on the local level - in families and parishes. Here are some ideas for promoting vocations in your family:
Celebrate anniversaries of baptism, using them as an occasion to talk about the universal vocation to holiness that all Christians are given in their baptism
Invite priests, seminarians, or religious men and women to your home for dinner. Start with your parish priest(s).
Pray daily as a family for vocations - that children will know the vocation God is calling them to follow and that those who have embraced a vocation will be faithful to their calling.
Using the Seminarian Prayer Cycle, pray by name for an Archdiocesan seminarian every day. at Ss. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis.
Attend the annual Priesthood Ordinations for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, typically held on the first Saturday of June
As a family, visit a seminary (such as Saint Meinrad Seminary) or a religious community for men and women.
Attend Mass together as a family one day during the week, in addition to Sundays.
For youth or young adults, encourage them to attend events such as the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) and World Youth Day, plus parish and Archdiocesan-sponsored gatherings of young people.
Parents of seminarians and men discerning the priesthood - learn more about the process of discerning the priesthood and the policies and guidelines for seminarians in our Archdiocese in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis Seminarian Handbook.

Puede ver y escuchar la Misa en el monitor allí. Estamos pidiendo cooperación en este asunto para que podamos mantener a todos seguros y prevenir accidentes. Se recomienda que cuando los niños vayan a comulgar, vayan acompañados de sus padres. Gracias. Charles Braganza Presidente del Comité de Seguridad.
