Today's Readings & Reflection
Meanwhile, standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, ‘Woman, here is your son.’ Then he said to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home. (John 19:25-27) | Read today's Readings & Reflection

What is God calling you to? Vocations Rally 2026 invites everyone to explore and support vocations in the Church, including priesthood, consecrated life, permanent diaconate, marriage, and generous single life. It is also for married couples and families who want to nurture the seeds of vocation in their homes, parishes, and communities.
Join us for Mass with Bishop McGrattan, keynote talks, booths and vendors, and a free lunch with registration as we pray for a renewed culture of vocations in our Diocese. All are welcome!
