In an effort to foster increased vocations to the priesthood and religious life through daily prayer, the Christ the King Vocations Committee has instituted the Vocations Chalice program. 

During one Mass of each weekend, an individual or family will accept the responsibility of praying for vocations.  Prayers are provided, as well as a special chalice to use as a reminder and focal point.  The chalice and prayers are returned to the Church Office by the following Friday so that they may then be provided to another family. 

If you would like to participate in this effort to pray for vocations, please sign up below or contact Conrad or Mary Battreal at 225-6814 with questions.

Prayer for Vocations 
Lord God of love, as a church and as a family dedicated to You,
We humbly pray that you touch the hearts of our young people
to hear the sound of your Son's voice, "Come and follow me."

Confident in Your love for the Church,
We pray that their minds and hearts will be open to be watchful and alert,
To hear when they are called, and to respond with courage and trust.

Bless those You have already called to the single way of life.
Confirm again those who have entered into the communal state of marriage.
Consecrate daily those who have promised their lives in poverty, chastity and obedience.

Before this Chalice, a symbol of your Son's living Body and Blood,
We pray to You:  Raise up young men to the Altar to be your servants and our priests.

If it be your holy will, touch our own family with a vocation to the Altar.
May our children and grandchildren respond generously to that call.

We make this prayer through Christ our High Priest.
Amen
