July 12th – Traveling Rosary For Vocations

July 12th – Traveling Rosary For Vocations

Barb Kimme Memorial Traveling Rosary for Vocations: All men and women young and old, are invited to help us pray for our Diocese and an increase in vocations. According to the Vocation Ministry Analysis from 2015-2021, the state of priestly vocations in our Green Bay Diocese meets 3 criteria to be considered as “unhealthy”.

To help raise an awareness and assist in rectifying this situation, we the GB Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, have decided our best course of action is prayer to our Lord. We are sponsoring a sort of 9-month novena for vocations. We will gather at 9 different churches every 2nd Wednesday of the month from March – November. The agenda includes song, prayer, speaker and reception. Our fifth date and location is: 

July 12th from 1:00 pm until 2:30 pm at St. Francis and St. Mary Parish located at: 9716 Cemetery Rd, Brussels, 54204.

Fore more information, please contact 920-794-8276 or visit www.gbdccw.org or follow us on Facebook, gbdccw.
