This Sunday, 30 April 2023, the fourth Sunday of Easter, is the 60th World Day of Prayer for Vocations. also known as “Good Shepherd Sunday.” The purpose of this day is to publicly fulfill the Lord’s instruction to, “Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest” (Mt 9:38; Lk 10:2). This year’s theme is: “Vocations: grace and mission.” We ask everyone to please join us in prayer for all those discerning a religious vocation, especially those who are considering joining us in the Order of Friars Minor Conventual.
