Vocations Sunday
Vocations Sunday takes place on the Fourth Sunday of Easter and is traditionally known as ‘Good Shepherd’ Sunday, when the gospel readings for this day make reference to Jesus as a shepherd who cares for us.
“Pray the Lord of the harvest to send labourers into his harvest” (Matthew 9:38).
Vocations Sunday asks us to recognise the call of the Good Shepherd in our lives and consider how we might respond to the vocation of Holy Orders and lay religious life.
