Ordination

Picture
​Men and women interested in serving the church as ordained deacons or priests, or as vowed religious women or men are invited to contact the parish and meet with Fr. Rick or Deacon Nick.  The discernment of a vocation involves prayer, service, and conversation with others.  The diocese of Albany has an office dedicated to ministry discernment in the Church.  For more information visit Albanyvocations.org or call 518-453-6690.

Please pray for vocations to the priesthood, religious life, the deaconate and lay ministry.

O God, Father of all Mercies,
Provider of a bountiful Harvest,
send Your Graces upon those
You have called to gather the fruits of Your labor;
preserve and strengthen them in their lifelong service of you.

Open the hearts of Your children
that they may discern Your Holy Will;
inspire in them a love and desire to surrender themselves
to serving others in the name of Your son, Jesus Christ.

Teach all Your faithful to follow their respective paths in life
guided by Your Divine Word and Truth.
Through the intercession of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary,
all the Angels, and Saints, humbly hear our prayers
and grant Your Church's needs, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
​
Contact the Diocesan Vocations Office at their website for information about vocations; and current events sponsored by the Vocations Office.
