The mission of St. Michael’s Vocation Ministry is to promote and encourage more vocations to single, married, and religious life. Our work is to encourage more youth along with their families to get a deeper understanding of discerning a vocation. We pray that our ministry will bring teens closer to God and give them a deeper knowledge of God’s plan for their life.
The Vocations Ministry is coordinated by a team of volunteers who include Maria Muniz, Dee Perez, Will Perez, George Mendez and Deacon Jesse Moreno.
PARENT GATHERINGS
Parent Gatherings have been scheduled to foster catechesis and spirituality for parents who have children involved in CCE, Edge, LifeTeen or Youth Confirmation. Parents are invited to participate in the session that will be held Wednesday, July 6, 2022 from 7:00-8:00 p.m. in the Church. Come strengthen your own faith so that you can spiritually feed your children in their faith formation. The Vocations Task Force will provide resources to help you support your child's understanding of his or her vocation in the Church. For information, contact the Church Office at 806-894-2268.
Loving God, we praise and thank you for sending your Son among us born of the Virgin Mary. We praise you, Jesus, for founding the Church and calling us to participate in your divine life. Help all of us, in the ministry of vocations, to help you call workers to your vineyard, workers to your Church who will help you to carry on your work of redemption. We recognize the need you have for apostles in our world; priests who will bring people the fruits of the redemption which you won for us on the cross. We recognize the need for sisters and brothers to bear witness to the love of Jesus in our world and to the fact that this world is passing. We desire, Lord God, to place this our Vocations Ministry under the patronage of the one whose “yes” has allowed you to take flesh and become our savior and brother. Mary, Mother of the Church, pray with us just as you did with the disciples in the upper room on the day of Pentecost. Help us to be open like you were to the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We consecrate our work to you so that just as you raised Jesus Christ on earth and watched him grow to maturity, now through your intercession, let us help you raise up the body of Christ on earth in the Church, by helping God’s call reach the ears of our brothers and sisters in our community.
