This link explains the Traveling Vocation Crucifix program that has started in the parish. This is a parish wide effort which requires the support of the church community as a whole to be a successful champion for the increase in vocations not just in our own community but the entire church.
The CCE program has started the Traveling Chalice to reinforce the efforts of the Traveling Crucifix. The chalice travels to a different classroom each week.
