St. Bernadette Catholic Church desires to more intentionally pray for the ongoing discernment of vocations in the parish, whether that be to the priesthood or religious life, to married life, to single life, and many more. In doing so, we invite the whole parish community to come together in prayer through our new Vocations Candle Program.

The Vocations Candle Program is a ritualistic prayer form that begins at the end of Mass, and is taken into the Domestic Church of your home with the intention of praying for vocations. In signing up below, you and your family will be called up to the altar at the end of Mass to receive a candle with which you will take into your home and pray as a family.

The form below is a contact list so that when there is another availability for your family, we can best coordinate the appropriate Sunday for you to receive your candle. Once the form has been filled out and there is availability, we will reach out via email or phone to get in contact with you.

Thank you for your service to the Church, and for your continual prayers that build up this special community of St. Bernadette.

Loving and Generous God,

It is You who call us by name and ask us to follow You.

Help us to grow in the Love and Service of our Church as we experience it today.

Give us the energy and courage of Your Spirit to shape its future.

Grant us faith-filled leaders who will embrace Christ's Mission of love and justice.

Bless St. Bernadette Catholic Church by raising up dedicated and generous leaders

from our families and friends who will serve Your people as

Sisters, Priests, Brothers, Deacons, Lay Ministers, and those called to Single or Married Life.

Inspire us to know You better and open our hearts to hear Your call.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
