ST. MARTIN DE PORRES SPIRITUAL ADOPTION
OF VOCATION DISCERNERS
SEPTEMBER 5, 2021-JUNE 19, 2022St. Martin de Porres is supporting vocations by offering us the opportunity to choose a young man in the seminary or young woman in the convent and praying for their peace, protection, and perseverance. Seminarians and Sisters are thankful for their desire to serve Christ and His Church, but the journey can be filled with struggles. With the help of the Holy Spirit, the Blessed Mother’s powerful intercession, and the affirmation and prayers of a dedicated family or individual, the discerner can receive the grace needed to continue his/her journey.
Your commitment will be to pray for this individual daily and can be Rosaries, Traveling Vocation Chalice, Vocation prayers, Morning Offerings, family prayers, novenas, etc. Whatever your family can do will be such a blessing!
We have 20 men & women left to adopt please contact Denise if you are interested or need more information:
