This is National Vocation Awareness Week, an annual week-long celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States dedicated to promoting vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life through prayer and education. Here at Saint Raymond’s we are hosting on November 19 the Diocesan Vocations Festival organized by the Vocations Office of the Diocese of Oakland. It will be a gathering of families, friends and members of the clergy and religious in support of vocations.

Everyone is invited. Our very own Deacon Rob Falco will be one of the speakers and will share his testimony on the grace of family life as means of living out our call to holiness. Bishop Michael Barber, SJ is likewise scheduled to celebrate the 2:30PM Mass that day - November 19! See you then!

St. Raymond Church is hosting the Diocesan Vocation Festival on November 19, from 9AM - 5PM.
