Vocations Monstrance – November 18-29
On November 24, 2004 the late Pope John Paul II blessed six monstrances for use for people to pray for an increase of vocations to ordained ministry and consecrated life. The monstrances were designated for Eucharistic adoration for vocations for each major continent or geographical area around the world as a symbol of the connection between the Eucharist and priestly vocations. The six regions given a monstrance are: North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Pacific.
The Monstrance that was given to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is being brought to Ireland and will visit 12 dioceses between Monday November 18 and Friday November 19.
