Bishop to lead 'vocations camino’ to Lough Derg

Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan is to lead the ‘Vocations Camino’ to Lough Derg to pray for vocations to the priesthood tomorrow. 

The penitential island of Lough Derg is located in the Diocese of Clogher.

Bishop Cullinan said: “I am looking forward to our Vocations Camino around Lough Derg, which holds such a unique place in the faith history and hearts of the Irish.  Up to fifty pilgrims will walk around the island where our patron Saint Patrick prayed.  

"We will offer prayers for an increase in vocations to the priesthood so that we will have priests in our parishes to follow in the footsteps of Christ: to baptise, to preach the love of the Gospel, to celebrate Mass, to offer the mercy of God through the sacrament of confession, to be pastoral leaders, and to teach.”

“I ask everyone to pray for the success of this hope-filled gathering, and, in that way, each of you will join us in spirit as we walk and pray,” Bishop Cullinan concluded.
