The journey from Eastertide, to Ascension and Pentecost calls us to mission. This year, in the light of the Pastoral Plan, The Word Who is Life: The Call to Mission, the whole Diocese is invited to come together for four weeks of prayer to the Holy Spirit to grant us a missionary spirit, through the raising up of new vocations to all walks of life in the Church.

Foremost among these vocations, we need priests. The priesthood is a special gift to the Church, through which Christ is always present to pour out His Spirit on His people through the holy sacraments.

Why not see this time of prayer as a personal invitation from the Lord to spend an hour in His company before the Blessed Sacrament? Perhaps a group to pray for vocations could be established. The Apostolate of Eucharistic Adoration team are happy to help with this and can be contacted here: E: eastpreston@abdiocese.org.uk.
