Vocations Awareness Week

Vocations Awareness Week is a chance for the Catholic community to pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life.

We are called to follow God and live out our vocation more deeply, whether in the priesthood, the consecrated life, marriage, or the sacred single life.

Please keep in your prayers Gerard Holden and Matthew McCafferty (below) both of the Archdiocese, who are training for the priesthood in Rome, along with all seminarians from Scotland's dioceses.

The Archdiocese is hosting a monthly group for young women to meet, socialise, pray and reflect upon Vita Consecrata, St Pope John Paul's Apostolic Exhortation on the Consecrated life. Find out more from religiousvocations@staned.org.uk

We thanks all priests of the Archdiocese for their sacrifice and ministry.
