Vocations Ministry
This is an effort to promote vocations from within our parish community. Families are asked to sign-up for a week or so at a time. During that time, your family will represent our parish praying for vocations. The Vocational Crucifix and The Bible will be presented to each family as their reminder of their commitment to pray for vocations. For more information, please contact the Rossi Family. 540-630-5515 or jamesdrossi4@gmail.com.
“Do you want the Lord to give you many graces? Visit Him often. Do you want Him to give you few graces? Visit Him rarely. Do you want the devil to attack you? Visit Jesus rarely in the Blessed Sacrament. Do you want him to flee from you? Visit Jesus often!” St. John Bosco
“We envy the shepherds who went to visit the grotto of Bethlehem to see Him, kissed His little hand, and offered Him their gifts. ‘Lucky shepherds!’ we exclaim. And yet there is no reason to envy them, for their fortune is ours, too. The same Jesus they visited in the grotto is in our tabernacle. The only difference is that the shepherds saw Him with the eyes of the body, whereas we see Him with the eyes of faith. Nothing will please Him more than our frequent visits to Him.” St. John Bosco
