Diocesan Novena for Vocations

The Lancaster Diocesan Team have organised a novena (nine days of prayer) for vocations.  Each day there will be a Holy Hour to pray for vocations.  Each deanery will have a Holy Hour and the following post on the Diocesan Vocations site has a full list of details of where Holy Hours will be taking place during the novena.  

Each day there is a post about the intention of the day so worth checking out the website for further information.  Today there is a reflection from our own seminarian Stephen Talbutt who reflects on the Feast of the Ascension.

This year the prayer is for vocations to the priesthood and religious life.  
A look back at vocations stories ...
In 2013 the Cathedral blog reported on a previous vocations novena (which took pace over nine weeeks) where we looked at different vocations, as we think and pray for vocations you may want to revisit previous posts.
