Your Catholic Home
The greatest source for strong spirituality of single, married or religious vocations has always been in the Catholic home. Parents and grandparents play a significant role in fostering the grace of a prominent spiritual vocation in their children. A life of service is modeled in the domestic church, your home!

Vocation Chalice Program
Prayer is the most powerful force on earth. A family receives a chalice and places it in their home for one week. The family pledges to offer special prayers each day for an increase in priestly vocations, especially from St. Columbkille.

Fully believe in the Power of the Eucharist. In honor of the “Year of the Priest” pray especially for an increase in vocations to the priesthood. Ask the Lord of the Harvest to send laborers to His Harvest.

Marriage Preparation
Living the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony is a life-long process of human development and Christian formation. Couples desiring to be married in the Catholic Church must attend a marriage preparation session at the parish as well as Engaged Encounter, Sponsor Couple or Pre-Cana Classes. This ministry includes assistance with the annulment process.
