“The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest” (Matt. 9:37-38). Pray with us as for an increase of vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life in our Diocese.
"Getting up in the middle of the night and driving to Adoration for 3 am was an amazing experience. While meditating on the actual presence of Christ right before my eyes, I was struck by how more acute and aware my senses and attention were at this dark hour," shares one parishioner during the 40 Hours Devotion for Vocations. The response to this initiative has indeed been extraordinary. Over the last month and a half, more than a thousand parishioners have come to adore Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament and pray for vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life.
Multiple parishes in our Diocese have held the 40 Hours Devotion for Vocations. Other parishes are scheduled to hold the Devotion in the coming weeks:
- St. Albert the Great, Calgary - Fri, Oct 11 from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm; 7 pm to Sat, Oct 12 at 9 am; Sat, Oct 12 from 12 pm to 4 pm; 6 pm to Sun, Oct 13 at 9 am
- St. Anthony's, Calgary - Fri, Nov 1 at 3 pm to Sun, Nov 3 at 7 am (Chapel)
- Ascension, Calgary - Thur, Nov 7 at 7:30 pm to Sat, Nov 9 at 4 pm
- Holy Name, Calgary - Fri, Nov 15 at 5 am to Sat, Nov 16 at 9 pm
- St. Augustine's, Taber - Mon, Nov 25 at 3 am to Tues, Nov 26 at 7 pm

Let your speech always be gracious
A Pastoral Letter on the roles of social media in modern life was recently issued by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB). It offers a reflection on both the good and harm which social media impacts individuals and communities. As we prepare for Lent, it may inform our decisions around fasting and of almsgiving related to our use of social media.
Using insights from the latest CCCB pastoral letter, "Let Your Speech Always be Gracious," and the Holy Father's Lenten message, Bishop McGrattan highlights the seven commitments we should make to witness to core Christian values and help build a healthy online environment that serves the common good.
