HOPE- A Retreat for Those Discerning the Priesthood

Are you considering the call to the priesthood? Join us for a Vocation to the Priesthood Retreat from 7th–9th March at Drumalis Retreat Centre, Larne. This year’s theme, “Priests as Men of Hope,” invites us to reflect on the joy and strength that come from trusting in God’s plan.

To book a place or for more information, contact the Vocations Director: Fr Conor McGrath at c.mcgrath@downandconnor.org.

Let us all continue to pray for vocations in our diocese:

Prayer for Vocations

Heavenly Father,
You are the source of all hope and the giver of every good gift.
Raise up men with hearts open to your call,
ready to serve your Church as priests,
bringing hope, healing, and the light of Christ to the world.
Give them courage to say “yes” to your will,
and bless our diocese with holy and faithful shepherds.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
