Traveling Chalice

How does the Vocations Traveling Chalice Program work?
There will be a sign-up binder in the narthex of the church. Hosting the chalice is very simple. Each weekend, a different family or person who has signed up will take the Vocations Traveling Chalice into their home and commit to pray that week for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Praying can be done at any time, though many families find it especially meaningful to pray together as a family before or after the evening meal.

It is important that the chalice be treated with reverence and respect. Please place the chalice in a prominent place in your home as a reminder of this special time of prayer.

When the week is over, the host family will return the chalice to the narthex by Saturday morning so that the next family can take the chalice home.

It is our hope that this experience will encourage each of us to take seriously our vocation as a member of the Body of Christ and encourage ALL of us to pray for the gift of vocations to the priesthood and religious life. We believe the Spirit is calling men and women from our faith community to these roles of service. May our prayers help inspire young men and women to be attentive to the movement of the Spirit within them and to step forward in faith with generous hearts to wherever the Spirit leads them.
