Vocation ministry teams

Name: National Vocation Awareness Week
Start: 2025-11-02
End: 2025-11-08
Location: All Parishes

Together, we discern, pray, and promote

Now is the time to start. Work with your pastor to pick a date and location for your first meeting. Invite others from each community within your parish family to become a part of the team! Consider inviting people from school staff, DRE, youth minister, adult faith formation, prayer group leaders... Remember, you can customize how you form and live out these parish family vocation ministry teams for what fits best. Also, start small with some Phase 1 activities such as acquiring prayer cards to pray with and distribute or connecting your school or faith formation to vocation videos. Also, familiarize yourself with the 3-point plan. (See below)

Ahora es el momento de empezar. Colaboren con su párroco para elegir la fecha y el lugar de su primera reunión. ¡Inviten a otros miembros de cada comunidad de su familia parroquial a formar parte del equipo! Consideren invitar a personal escolar, DRE, ministro de jóvenes, formación de fe para adultos, líderes de grupos de oración... Recuerden que pueden adaptar la formación y la vida de estos equipos de ministerio de vocaciones de la familia parroquial a sus necesidades. Además, comiencen poco a poco con algunas actividades de la Fase 1, como adquirir estampas de oración para orar y distribuir, o conectar su escuela o formación de fe con videos de vocaciones. Familiarícense también con el plan de 3 puntos. (Ver abajo)

World Day of Prayer for Vocations

The purpose of World Day of Prayer for Vocations is to publicly fulfill the Lord's instruction to, "Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest" (Mt 9:38; Lk 10:2). As a climax to a prayer that is continually offered throughout the Church, it affirms the primacy of faith and grace in all that concerns vocations to the priesthood and to the consecrated life. ...

Vocations prayer/Oracion por las vocaciones

God our Father,
You call each of us
to use our gifts in the Body of Christ.

Inspire your people
with desire to know you,
the grace to understand your will,
and, with the strength of the Holy Spirit,
the courage to respond
with love and freedom.

Send workers into your great harvest
so that the Gospel is preached, the poor
are served with love, the suffering are comforted,
and your people are strengthened by the sacraments.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Arquidiócesis de Seattle oración por las vocaciones

Dios nuestro Padre,
Nos llamas a cada uno de nosotros
a utilizar nuestros dones en el Cuerpo de Cristo.

Inspira a tu gente
con el deseo de conocerte,
la gracia de entender tu voluntad
y, con la fuerza del Espíritu Santo,
el valor para responder
con amor y libertad.

Manda trabajadores a tu gran cosecha
para que se predique el Evangelio, los pobres
sean servidos con amor, los que sufren sean consolados,
y tu pueblo se fortalezca con los sacramentos.

Te los pedimos por Cristo nuestro Señor.
Amén.
