Throughout the day people gathered to pray in the Cathedral in front of the Blessed Sacrament which was shown to the people in a Monstrance.
Prayer cards inviting parishioners to pray for vocations with an image of St Jean Marie Vianney and a prayer for Home Mission Sunday we celebrate on Sunday 20th September inviting us to Proclaim God's Mercy were available .
Lord God, provider of all our needs, we, your faithful people of the Diocese of Lancaster, ask you to send labourers into your harvest, to give us holy and zealous priests after your own heart. Grant courage to those you are calling to the priesthood to respond to your call, and continue to guide those who are discerning their vocation. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
We call upon you, St John Vianney, to watch over our priests, that they might always be faithful to their sacred calling. We also seek your intercession, with the Lord of the harvest, to stir up in the hearts of the men of our diocese the desire to answer the Lord's call to the priesthood. Amen.
