The Traveling Vocations Crucifix promotes family prayer and awareness of vocations. Each week, a parishioner who has signed up ahead of time will receive the crucifix at the end of Mass from Father, take the crucifix home, put it in a prominent place, and pray daily for vocations. The crucifixes, which you can see displayed above, are beautiful, simple crucifixes kept in a nice wooden traveling case, and accompanied with daily prayers that all family members can say together each day of the week. The prayers are designed to help stir in our hearts an awareness that each child and adult is called to know his or her calling from God, and to call down God's blessing on each of us to help us discern the Lord's will in our lives.

The family says these prayers before the crucifix at home each day of the week, and then simply returns the crucifix to the sacristy the following Sunday before or after any Mass. (We have two crucifixes, so you never have to worry about getting it back by a certain time, so long as it's returned sometime during the weekend.)

This is a wonderful way to involve parishioners, especially children, in praying for vocations, and to unite the parish in perpetual prayer for priests, deacons, holy marriages and consecrated life. You can sign up to take the crucifix home for a particular week using the form below or calling the parish office. For more information, please contact the Director of Faith Formation.

How It Works:
- Families can inquire via email, the sign-up form below, calling the parish office or by contacting Director of Faith Formation Joe Block directly to sign up for an available week to take the Crucifix.
- At the beginning of their pre-determined week, families attend their regular Mass, and Father will call them up to receive the crucifix after Communion.
- At home, families can pray the included prayers daily in front of the Crucifix.
- At the end of the week, simply return the Crucifix, it's travel case and all the enclosed prayer materials to the sacristy before or after any Mass.
