Reunion Mass

Honor priests and religious who once called your parish home with a Reunion Mass, a liturgy celebrating their vocations. This event inspires parishioners with stories of faith nurtured in familiar pews, showing that vocations begin in everyday places. A reception afterward fosters connections, allowing visitors to share their journeys with old friends and new parishioners. Rooted in Saint Thérèse’s words on love encompassing all vocations, this Mass makes God’s call feel real and attainable.

This gathering stirs hearts across generations, encouraging families to consider how God might be calling their own. By honoring those who said “yes” to priesthood or religious life, parishes create moments of gratitude and discernment. The event’s simplicity—whether part of a Sunday Mass or a school liturgy—belies its power to inspire lifelong faith. A Reunion Mass offers a joyful opportunity to celebrate the Church’s living witnesses and nurture a culture of vocation.
