Intercession

Along with asking for God’s help and Our Blessed Mother’s prayers, ask for the intercession of the saints who strived for holiness on earth and are now saints in heaven praying for our ministry and its activities. While many venerable and saints can be called upon for prayers for vocations, a few, in particular, are well-known intercessors for these activities.

• Saint Alphonsus Marie Liguori, Patron of Vocations and Theologians
• Blessed Junípero Serra, Patron of Vocations
• Saint John Mary Vianney, Patron of Priests
• Saint Charles Borromeo, Patron of Seminarians
• St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows, Patron of Clergy
• Saint Monica, Patron of Married Women
• St. Scholastica, Patron of Nuns
