Accompanying the cross is a binder with prayers, activities and materials to promote discussions on vocations. To receive the Vocation Cross into your home, a sign up sheet is available on the bulletin board in the foyer of the church. "VOCATIONS ARE EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS"

(From the Feeney Family) During dinner the family discussed the many dedicated nuns
who exerted a positive influence on our lives and lamented the fact that
our grandchildren are not having that experience. On New Year's weekend
we used the information in the binder and did the word games and crossword

to answering God's call to the religious and ordained life. I encourage
