Did you know that the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary are dedicated to praying for vocations to the priesthood? For our prayer this week, let’s pray a rosary using these mysteries each day for new vocations and for the strengthening of vocations of priests throughout the world.

Novena for Christ the King
Wednesday, November 13, 2019
Wow! It’s already time for the feast of Christ the King. Advent starts in less than 3 weeks.
This week’s novena is a great way to end the liturgical year on a prayerful note, and prepare ourselves to head into the Advent/Christmas/Epiphany season.

An Invitation
We would like to invite you to join us in praying for all of our priests and clergy. Please feel free to forward this to any others that you think may want to participate. Regardless of how you heard about us, please send a text to (607)259-1529 or an email to prayers4priests@gmail.com if you are interested in joining us. I’ll be sending an email or text at least weekly with prayers, novenas, etc., so let me know how you would prefer to receive notifications
We are a small informal prayer group made up of faithful Catholics, praying for the sanctification of our Church and our clergy, both here and abroad. We are doing this in a few different ways.
We will be praying a series of novenas, beginning every other Wednesday. I’ll send a notification for each one.
Some of us will be fasting on Thursdays for our priests. It would also be wonderful if some of us could get together once a month to pray a Rosary or a Divine Mercy Chaplet. We could consider sending cards of encouragement and gratitude to our local priests for their day on the calendar as well.
We are open to any and all suggestions that will help strengthen our Church and our current priests, and will increase new vocations to the priesthood.
Let the praying begin!
God bless,
Laurie Desmarais & Elena Cambio
The Journey Begins
Thanks for joining us!
Please be patient as we begin our journey of praying for our priests.
Wherever two or more are gathered (even if it is a virtual gathering),
Jesus is with us.
