Holy Orders & Vocations
Have you felt that God is calling you to become a Priest? Or that God is calling you into one of the many other vocations of the church, including as a Sister or Brother, or into the Diaconate or Religious Life?
Consider contacting the Norwich Diocese Office of Vocations. There is more information, including a list of recently ordained priests who need our daily prayers and support, on the Diocese of Norwich Vocations Office website.
Father Jeffrey Ellis, Vocations Director of the Diocese of Norwich, is available to discuss vocations and answer questions. Fr. Ellis can be contacted here: norwichpriest.org/contact-us
Prayer for Vocations
Heavenly Father,
Through all generations,
You have chosen men to serve You
by sharing in the Holy Priesthood of Christ,
Your Son.
We beg You to call men from our diocese
to serve as priests at the altar,
and to send Your Holy Spirit
upon them to discern that call.
Give them understanding to know Your will
and courage to follow it.
Pour out, too, Your grace
upon women from our parishes
to serve You in religious life,
formed after the model of our Blessed Mother.
We ask this through our eternal High Priest and King,
Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Jesus Christ, our Lord.
