VOCATION
AWARENESS WEEKEND
This
year the Catholic Church in Ireland
has asked us to reflect on our
Christian calling and so has called
for a 'Year of Vocation'.
The year runs from Vocation
Sunday 2008 to Vocation Sunday 3rd
May 2009.
Its threefold theme - Called
to Love,
Called to Serve, Called to Witness - includes
all vocations within the Church.
Whatever
we do', whoever we are, - whether we
are single, or married, young or
older, priest or religious - it will
have something to say to each one of
us in our following of Jesus Christ.
it will help us deepen and
appreciate our belonging to the
Church.
An important feature of this
year will be the promotion of
Priesthood and Religious Life.
During the weekend of
22nd/23rd November we, in BANDON
parish, are invited to focus on and
appreciate our own particular call,
asking the Lord to deepen our
belonging to Him.
There will be a short input
on the topic of 'Vocation' at each
Mass over the weekend and 'Vocation
Literature' will be on display in
each Church.
