Vocations Walk draws 100 faithful

June 12 brought clouds, rain and prayers for vocations.  The annual Vocations Walk drew 100 people to pray for current and new vocations for the Denver Archdiocese.   In honor of the Year for Priests, this year’s walk was held at a new location, St. John Vianney Theological Seminary at the John Paul II Center campus in south Denver.  The faithful  joined in praying the Stations of the Cross, attended Mass and enjoyed a barbecue lunch.  Attendees included seminarians, members of the Serra Club, Knights of Columbus, families and singles, Boy Scouts, the Religious Sisters of Mercy’s Sodality of Mary, and the Little Sisters of the Poor’s Teenage Hospitality Club.  The event was sponsored by the Office of Vocations, Serra Clubs of Colorado and the Knights of Columbus.

“Despite the rain we had a terrific group attend,” said Father Jim Crisman, director of priestly vocations.  “No doubt the Lord has heard and will answer our prayers for more vocations to holy orders and consecrated life here in the Archdiocese of Denver.  Thank you to all who joined in that prayer.”
