Prayers for Our Promised Priests: A Vigil in the Archdiocese Where the Sun Never Sets
By: Denise Hummel, Director at Large
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” Matthew 18:20
Our first-ever prayer vigil was an enormous success! MCCW ladies, from all around the globe, connected over Zoom and united in prayer. During the entire 24-hour vigil, never once was a Sister in Christ left alone to pray. Reflections from our guest speakers inspired those who were virtually gathered. The greatest highlight was hearing the vocation stories from the AMS co-sponsored seminarians. Many of the reflections can be found on our Youtube channel.
The goal was to encourage the women of MCCW to adopt a sense of spiritual maternity and begin to pray more intentionally and fervently for the young men discerning their call to the priesthood. We surpassed our expectations and goals.
In the weeks from Pentecost Sunday to the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we initiated a stewardship campaign and raised over $5,000 from our PayPal online donations. Thank you to all of you who sent in a donation via our website. To those of you who mailed a check, we also thank you for your generosity. If you made a contribution, please complete this form. Once our Director of Stewardship receives your completed Google form, she will mail you a thank you note and gift.
We thank you for showing your love and support to the AMS co-sponsored seminarians. We know all MCCW members are dedicated to praying together for our promised priests. Your generous financial contributions to the MCCW perpetual charity help the formation of future promised priests.
