Because of our special devotion to
Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament,
we feel called to support the formation of priests.
Our Community supports Seminarians by both prayer and sacrifice.
Currently, we are focusing on three groups of seminarians:
- The Seminarians of our diocese - The diocese of Manchester, New Hampshire
- The Missionary Rosebushes
- The Carmelite Seminarians in Kenya
You can learn about the Carmelite Seminarians by watching this video:
Donations to assist the Kenya Mission can be sent to the
Discalced Carmelite Friars, 2131 Lincoln Rd NE, Washington, DC 20002-1101.
Prayer for Vocations
We acknowledge the great need to pray for vocations to the priesthood. It is not surprising that, where people pray fervently, vocations blossom.
O Father, raise up among Christians numerous and holy vocations to the priesthood, to keep the faith alive and guard the gracious memory of your Son Jesus through the preaching of his word and the
administration of the Sacraments, with which you continually renew your faithful.
Give us holy ministers of your altar, who are careful and fervent guardians of the Eucharist,
the sacrament of the supreme gift of Christ for the redemption of the world,
Call ministers of your mercy.
Who, through the sacrament of Reconciliation, spread the joy of your forgiveness. Grant, O Father, that the
Church may welcome with joy numerous inspirations of the Spirit of your Son and, docile to His teachings, may she care for vocations to the ministerial priesthood and to the consecrated life.
Sustain the Bishops, priests and deacons, consecrated men and women, and all the baptized in Christ, so that they may faithfully fulfill their mission at the service of the Gospel. This we pray You through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Mary, Queen of Apostles, pray for us.
