Two men are beginning their studies for the priesthood this autumn and a third is embarking on the permanent diaconate.

“This is an essential part of the mission of the priest; to break for the people the bread of God’s Word as well as the bread of the Eucharist.”

"Priestly vocations are everyone’s business, but if priests, deacons, parish pastoral workers, parish council members do not lead the conversation, then who will?"

“Vocations are born in prayer and only in prayer can they persevere and bear fruit” – Pope Francis.

Prayers offered at Masses in the Diocese of Kerry for world peace and for people everywhere who serve in the army of their country.

Rise in numbers attending Open Day at Maynooth and among those discerning a vocation.
