Almighty Father, we thank you for those who have answered your call to serve as priests and religious men and women in the Diocese of Green Bay.

We are grateful for the call you placed within their hearts, and we are grateful for their “yes.” We ask for an outpouring of your Holy Spirit upon them. May you strengthen them in their service to your holy people and sustain them in prayer.
May the word of God and the most holy Eucharist always be the source of their strength and their defense against all evil and temptation.

We ask that Mary wrap her mantle around them and bring them close to her Immaculate Heart and the most Sacred Heart of her Son, Jesus.

Amen.
