Vocations Sunday Build-up

24 April 2009

Our Vocations Director Father Robert King has written to all parishes as we look forward to marking Vocations Sunday next weekend (2 and 3 May). 

Father Robert is letting all parishes know about an innovative project he has organised.  He has joined with a talented film maker to produce a series of videos celebrating life as a priest.

In his letter, which he has sent to all parish priests today (24 April), Father Robert says: “The videos are interviews with the Bishop and some of our priests and were made with the help of Dr Stuart Lydall, a research journalist and film maker.  The videos will be serialised on our website cliftondiocese.com. 

“The first will be available from Vocations Sunday.  Do please encourage people to watch the videos. They not only have the potential to be a catalyst in vocational discernment; they provide an insight to our remarkable ministry as priests.”

Bishop Declan has written a pastoral letter for this special occasion in our Church year.
