Prayer card for vocations here.

The "Club 31" is a Catholic prayer initiative where parishioners commit to praying for priestly and religious vocations on one specific day each month, often tied to their birthday or another memorable date, without formal meetings, to support current clergy and inspire future calls to service. Participants offer Mass, Holy Hours, or other prayers on their assigned day to ensure daily prayer coverage for vocations.

• Choose a Day: Members select one day of the month (e.g., the 15th) to dedicate to vocations.
• Pray for Vocations: On that chosen day, they offer prayers, a Mass intention, or a Holy Hour for priests, deacons, religious sisters, brothers, and for an increase in vocations.
• No Meetings: It's a personal commitment, not a formal group with regular gatherings, making it easy to join.
• Support Current & Future: Prayers cover those currently serving and encourage new vocations

Your daily email will be sent at 6:30 a.m. on the morning you have committed to praying. 

To join Club 31 and pray for vocations, contact Sharon Costello at [email protected]
