MANILA, April 11, 2016 – The Rogationists of the Heart of Jesus invite young people to a prayer vigil for vocations, from April 16, 7:00 p.m. to April 17, 7:30 a.m. at the Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish, Multinational Village, Paranaque City.
In line with the 53rd World Day for Vocations, celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Easter (Good Shepherd Sunday), all parishes in the Diocese of Parañaque are encouraged to send youth delegates for the said overnight Youth Prayer Vigil called “Magbokasyon sa Bakasyon”.
Inspired by Pope Francis letter on the occasion of the 53rd World day of Prayer for Vocation, the event is themed “The Church: Mother of Vocations”.
Pre-registration details will be posted on the MAGBOKASYON SA BAKASYON Facebook page. For other queries and concerns, interested parties may contact Bro. Francis Aberion, RCJ at 09982767134, jaberion@rcj.org, and Ms. Aika Bolda at 09154025210, jpbolda@gmail.com. The event is free and open to the public.
In this year’s celebration, Pope Francis reminded the faithful that vocations are born within the Church, “From the moment a vocation begins to become evident, it is necessary to have an adequate ‘sense’ of the Church. No one is called exclusively for a particular region, or for a group or for an ecclesial movement, but rather for the Church and for the world”. (Michael Dalogdog / CBCPNews)
