Holy Hour for Vocations St Mary’s (Leek) Saturdays in October

St Mary’s, Leek, on the Saturdays during the month of October, there will be a Holy Hour for Vocations from 10am – 11am. Let’s ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to his harvest!

Holy Hour for Vocations St Wulstan’s (Wolstanton) Tuesday October 29th, starting at 7pm/

Each Deanery within the Archdiocese is asked to devote one month in the year to prayer for vocations. In North Staffs, our designated month is October.  Each of the groups of parishes or Mission Areas are encouraged to hold a joint Holy Hour for Vocations or Mass for Vocations, as well as any single parish initiatives that they might be able to organise. For example, Fr Martin at St Mary’s Leek, will be holding a Holy Hour for Vocations on each Saturday during October from 10am – 11am.   Fr Michael Miners has agreed to host a Deanery Holy Hour for Vocations at St Wulstan’s Wolstanton, on Tuesday October 29th, starting at 7pm.
