The Hunt for Seminarians
This weekend marks opening weekend of pheasant hunting in South Dakota! A couple weeks ago, Western South Dakota Catholic Foundation and St. Hubert’s Hideaway sponsored the Annual Bishop’s Hunt for Seminarians. It was a great success. Thank you to all who organized the event, purchased raffle tickets, and attended the event. And remember, you too, can hunt for seminarians by praying for vocations:
Heavenly Father,
We beg you for an increase
in religious vocations
and holy marriages
in the Diocese of Rapid City.
Look upon us with favor
and choose from our homes
those who are needed
for your work.
Send your Spirit to strengthen us
and give us open hearts and minds
ready to say “Yes” when you call.
Help our parishes and families
encourage vocations to the priesthood,
diaconate and consecrated life.
We commend our prayers to our Patroness,
Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
Through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
