SAINT CHARLES PARISH COMMUNITY 880 TAMARACK AVENUE • SAN CARLOS • CALIFORNIA • 94070 www.stcharlesparish.org Seventh Sunday of Ordinary Time Lenten Devotion Traveling Vocations Chalice Program The word “vocation” is derived from the Latin word vocare, “ to call” and so a voca- tion is a calling. Above all, everyone has a vocation, a universal call to holiness, which Christ gives to us in the Gospel (John 13:34). The principle of the Traveling Vocations Chalice Program is to help us focus and en- courage prayer for vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life and to have the courage to listen and respond to God’s calling. During Lent we are inviting parish families to participate in the Traveling Vocations Chalice Program. This chalice serves as a visible reminder to pray together for voca- tions. Each week at Mass during Lent, a volunteer family is invited to take the gifts up at the Offertory Procession. At the end of Mass, the family is called by the priest to come forward to receive the chalice, a prayer card, and a blessing. The family takes the chalice home and puts it in a place of honor. Each day for a week, during prayer time (morning, bedtime, or at meals), the family prays for an awareness and increase of vocations. The following Sunday the family returns the chalice for another family to take home. Families interested in participating should contact Kathy Cox at the Parish Office (650) 591-7349 ext. 416. ________________________________ St. Charles Church is happy to invite you to a talk on Conscience Formation: “A Lenten Guide in Anxious Times” Friday, March 3, 2017 7:00-8:30pm in the church Fr.
