ONE HAIL MARY A DAY DURING LENT
As we did last year, let’s pray one Hail Mary a day during Lent for an increase in vocations in our diocese. We need young, holy men to answer God’s call to be priests. Without priests, there can be no Mass. Without Mass, there can be no consecration of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of our Lord – our food for the journey.
