A Prayer for Those Working to Defend Human Life
God our loving Father,
grant wisdom to those who govern us,
compassion and courage
to those who work to defend human life,
and safety and care to every human being.
For You alone who formed us in our mothers' wombs,
and who call us home to heaven,
are God, for ever and ever. Amen.

VOCATIONS
HOLY TRINITY C.M.S.
Holy Trinity Catholic Middle School is made up of future priests, religious brothers and sisters, and lay men and women in many professions.
God has prepared a divine vocation for each person in service to the Church and the world. We are called to help our students discover, appreciate, and dedicate themselves to their vocations in a spirit of attentiveness to God, humility, and charity.
Pray fervently that the Lord will raise up many holy vocations for service in His vineyard.
Prayer for Vocations
God our Father, we thank You for calling men and women to serve in Your Son’s Kingdom as priests, deacons, and consecrated persons. Send Your Holy Spirit to help others to respond generously and courageously to Your call. May our community of faith support vocations of sacrificial love in our youth and young adults.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
