TRAVELING VOCATIONS CHALICE PROGRAM The Traveling Chalice Program encourages prayers for vocations. This is a wonderful opportunity for all parishioners! Individuals or families can sign up to take home a special chalice blessed by Father Kraynak, and every day for one week take a few minutes to pray for vocations using special vocation prayer cards. The chalice is to be returned prior to the next weekend's Mass. It will be displayed in the church and then presented at the end of Mass to the individual or family who is taking it home that week. We invite you to prayerfully consider participating in the program. The program kicks off on Palm Sunday. Sign up in the sacristy for your week with the traveling chalice!
