Feb 2, 2014 — World Day for Consecrated Life
May 11, 2014 — World Day of Prayer for Vocations
Last Sunday of Oct — Priesthood Sunday
Nov 2-8, 2014 — National Vocation Awareness Week
Plan something special for your church during these special days/weeks.
Our local Serra Club, for example, did a spiritual bouquet card for our priest last year — or people could put their own cards into the basket..
Having thought it through, the timing kind of makes sense. The letter sets the theme, so to speak, and now Bishops’ Councils around the world will plan publicity, create resources for diocesan vocations directors, etc., and eventually, in May, someone will remind priests, “Sunday is the World Day of Prayer for Vocations. The theme is (whatever). Remember to mention it!”
