Our Mission:
To create a parish community environment that encourages and allows men and
women to easily say “Yes” to God's call in their lives to the priesthood, consecrated life, or marriage.Prayer for Vocations:
At the moment of our creation, you put into our
hearts a calling to serve you and our neighbor. We
give you thanks for the unique way in which you
have called so many and now we come before you
humbly asking you to give a renewed courage to the
young men and women in this parish and
in the Diocese of Dallas.
Give them the fortitude to speak your Word with
boldness, to serve at your altar with reverence, and
to make your love present with abounding mercy.
May they answer the call to priestly and religious life
with a zeal for souls. We ask this through
Christ our Lord.
Amen.After prayerfully considering whom you think Jesus Christ might be calling to be a priest or religious brother or sister, use the Casting the Net Vocation Card, found under documents on the left, to nominate that person. Everyone who is nominated will receive a letter from our bishop, congratulating them and inviting them to consider formally discerning their calling, as well as resources and discernment events that could help them. Nominating them does not commit them, it is just an invitation to discern where Jesus Christ is calling them to holiness.You can also choose to participate in the Elijah Cup program. This program supports the church's need for vocations by establishing a process in which a family, couple, or individual receives a chalice at Mass and prays for vocations during the week. At the end of the week, the chalice is returned to the parish. You can also participate by joining the Vocation Rosary Group. Please see the link for more information.
