Second Collection Archdiocesan Seminarians April 21, 2019 (Easter)
The following are the bulletin/pulpit announcements for the April 21, 2019 Second Collection for the Seminarians in the Archdiocese of Atlanta.
Bulletin Announcement for April 13-14:
As Saint John Paul II said, “The responsibility for the seminary belongs to the entire Christian community”. In the Archdiocese of Atlanta we have been blessed with almost 50 men who are responding to a call for priestly service to the people of God. Though this generous gift of God is a blessing for this archdiocese, it does pose a challenge to us. These men need both our financial support and our prayers. Please provide a sound future for the seminarians here in the Archdiocese of Atlanta by giving generously to the Archdiocesan Seminarians’ Collection next weekend.
Pulpit Announcement for April 20-21:
Our second collection today is for the seminarians of the Archdiocese of Atlanta. We have been blessed with many vocations to the priesthood and your prayers and generous gifts today support almost 50 men who are now preparing for future priestly service in north Georgia.
Prayer of the Faithful:
For all young men of our parish who are making lifetime choices at this time, that they will include service to the People of God as a priest among their other options, we pray to the LORD.
Anuncios del boletín para el 13 y 14 de abril:
Como dijo el Santo Juan Pablo II: “La responsabilidad del seminario pertenece a toda la comunidad cristiana”. En la Arquidiócesis de Atlanta hemos sido bendecidos con casi 50 hombres que están respondiendo al llamado de servir al pueblo de Dios como sacerdotes. Aunque este don generoso de Dios es una bendición para esta Arquidiócesis, presenta un desafío. Estos hombres necesitan tanto nuestro apoyo financiero, como todas nuestras oraciones. Le rogamos que, por medio de una ofrenda abundante a la Colecta por los Seminaristas de la próxima semana, provea de un buen futuro a los seminaristas aquí en la Arquidiócesis de Atlanta.
Anuncio desde el púlpito para el 20 y 21 de abril:
Nuestra segunda colecta de hoy está destinada a los seminaristas de la Arquidiócesis de Atlanta. Hemos sido bendecidos con muchas vocaciones sacerdotales, y sus oraciones y ofrendas abundantes de hoy ayudan a casi 50 hombres que en este momento se están preparando para servir al norte de Georgia como sacerdotes en un futuro.
Oración de los fieles
Por los hombres jóvenes de nuestra parroquia que en este momento están tomando decisiones de vida, para que entre sus opciones consideren servir al pueblo de Dios como sacerdotes, oremos al SEÑOR.
