The Vocations Committee of the Antigonish Diocese has established an opportunity for every member of the Diocese to participate in our vocations work by joining the Vocations Prayer Partner Program.

The program is simple in that it invites all people to commit themselves to pray in a manner and form that is most comfortable. The prayer does not have to be long or involved. It may be as simple as one Our Father or Hail Mary each day. The individual chooses where, when and how the praying is done.

Each parish of the diocese has received cards for the Prayer Partner Program.

Prayer Partner Cards may be available in your local parish church, or may be obtained by contacting: Fr. Gary Mac Pherson, St. Louis Parish, PO Box 600, Louisdale, NS B0E 1V0  Phone (902)345-2252  Fax (902)345-2308. The Prayer Partner Card can also be found at: Vocation Prayer Partner Card

"How can one not read in the story of the “servant Jesus” the story of every vocation: the story that the Creator has planned for every human being, the story that inevitably passes through the call to serve and culminates in the discovery of the new name, designed by God for each individual? In these “names”, people can grasp their own identity, directing themselves to that self-fulfilment which makes them free and happy. In particular, how can one not read in the parable of the Son, Servant and Lord, the vocational story of the person who is called by Jesus to follow him more closely: that is, to be a servant in the priestly ministry or in religious consecration? In fact, the priestly vocation or the religious vocation are always, by their very nature, vocations to the generous service of God and of neighbour."
