Vocations Chalice All Saints Catholic Church
Our Parish is involved in praying for Vocations to the Religious Life (Priests, Deacon, and Sisters) The Vo-cations Chalice experience will help encourage our
parishioners and their families to pray for the gift of a Religious Vocation for our young men and woman. The spirit calls our youth and members of our CCE

spond with generous hearts.
