Father, in every generation you provide

ministers of Christ and the Church.

We come before you now, asking that

you call forth more men to serve our

Archdiocese in the ministerial priesthood.

Give us priests who will lead and guide

your holy people gathered by Word

and Sacrament.

Bless us with priestly vocations so

that we can continue to be a truly

Eucharistic Church, strengthened in

our discipleship of Jesus Christ,

your Only Son.

Raise up, we pray, men who are generous

in their service, willing to offer their lives

and all their gifts for your greater glory

and for the good of your people.

We make our prayer in the presence and

power of the Holy Spirit, through Christ,

Our Lord. Amen.
