This Sunday, 25 April, is the World Day of Prayer for Vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life. As members of the Church, we are encouraged to pray earnestly for an increase in priestly and religious vocations.

This week we take up the second collection in support of the Priest Training Fund, which pays for the formation of Southwark Seminarians and Deacons and the good work of our vocations team. Please be generous to this appeal today. Your gifts will support 7 men currently in formation to the Priesthood for our Diocese.  There will be a donation envelope available at Mass, which can be used to Gift Aid your donation. You can also donate online via: www.rcsouthwark.co.uk/vocations.htm

Thank you for your prayers and generosity.
