Here are some great photos from our 2007 Discernment Retreat.

You may want to download these to make a collage or bulletin board display.

Thank you to the people of Christ the King Parish who opened their Labyrinth gathering area to us as we prayed in support of vocations last evening.  It was a wonderful opportunity to do so.  All present expressed the desire to return each third Thursday of the month to continue this spiritual effort.  Won't you join us?

Sharing Ideas:  Bonnie Fagan of St. Clare's had a wonderful idea that you might find useful!  She is going to take photos of the priests and religious of her parish and write a short bio about each and post them on her vocation bulletin board.  Sounds great, Bonnie!

DVC Reps, keep those ideas coming! 

Join us on Thursday, January 18 and every third Thursday of the month for Labyrinth Prayer at Christ the King Church in Albany!

7:30 - 8:30 p.m.

Come and go, as you please!

Come, pray for . . .

those God is calling to the priesthood, deaconate or religious life,

engaged couples you may know,

generous single people you may know,

married couples who are in need of prayer.

If you are presently discerning your vocation,

come and pray at the labyrinth!

Guidance will be available.

Hospitality will be offered throughout!

There is a great article to be found on the following site.  Let me know what you think of it.  You can run it off for your parish, if you would like!

ALSO:  Below is a photo from the Discernment Retreat we just had last week.  It was a delightful 48 hours!   There is no doubt in my mind that God is calling people to the priesthood and religious life today!  Soon, we'll have a slide show up on our website for all to see.

Mass with Bishop Howard J. Hubbard.  Fr. Tom Coogan, from the Diocese of Rockville Center, is delivering the homily about "Come and See."

All DVC Reps

Feel free to add the good things you are doing

to promote and support vocations in your parishes!

We are grateful for all you are and all you do!
