God our Father, we thank you
for calling men and women
from the Diocese of Owensboro
to serve in your Son’s kingdom
as priests, deacons, and religious.

We pray that you continue
to inspire young men and women
to respond courageously to your call
and give themselves generously
to the Church in service of the Gospel.

Pour out your Holy Spirit
upon our parishes, schools, and families
and assist us in building
a culture of vocations
in which many will hear
your call to serve your people.

Help us to remain faithful
to the call of the Gospel
as we support and encourage
vocations of sacrificial love
in our youth.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Mary, Mother of the Church,
pray for us!
