who may wish to join Diocesan Priesthood in our Diocese. Further
information from our Diocesan Vocation Director, Fr. Jim Murray.
The new study year for students begins in august
Vocations Weekend: This Weekend is dedicated to prayer for
Vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life. While both the age profile in our
diocese continue to increase and the demands are more pressing, numbers attending
the seminary in Maynooth are very small. The future of our Church rests in the
response of those who the Lord is calling and their generosity to accept that call. Let
us pray for Vocations with a firm heart and steady conviction.
