June 2008 – Marriage as Vocation

yourvocation — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 13:40:32 +0000

The theme for the Year of Vocation for June 2008 is marriage as vocation. The weekend of Saturday 21^st and Sunday 22^nd June has been chosen as the weekend on which parishes will be encouraged to have a celebration of marriage as vocation.

The celebration can be something as simple as speaking about marriage as vocation at Masses or inviting a married person to speak as Masses. Parishes may want to have something more ambitious like having a group renewal of marriage vows followed by refreshments after one of the weekend masses.

Whatever parishes decide the following resources should be of use for the celebration of marriage as vocation during the month of June and throughout the Year of Vocation:

Welcome to the Year of Vocation blog. Today we formally launch the Year of Vocation in the Irish Catholic Church. The Year will run from today, Vocations Sunday 13th April 2008 until Vocations Sunday 2009. The aim of the Year of Vocation is to highlight the common vocation or calling that we all share through our baptism.
Whatever we do, wherever we are – whether we are single or married, young or older, priest or religious, men or women – the Year of Vocation will have something to say to all of us in our following of Jesus Christ. It will be a ‘Year’ when everyone can deepen their appreciation and understanding of belonging to the Church.
Check back here for regular comments and please please free to leave your own thoughts on the Year of Vocation.
