VMTraveling Vocations Chalice Program
The Traveling Vocations Chalice Program has been efficacious in bringing about new vocations, especially to the priesthood and consecrated life. The main idea is that a chalice, used in the sacrifice of the Mass, travels from classroom to classroom, homeschool family to another, or one campus bible study to another. It serves as a reminder for students to pray for and think about their own vocation daily while the chalice is in their presence. Not only is this a symbol of the priesthood, but it also promotes the gift of the Eucharist. A binder of age-appropriate prayers accompanies the chalice. This program has the potential to bring about a vocation-minded school, one student at a time.
Social Media Announcement:
This year at (school’s name) a traveling vocations chalice will be presented to a different teacher on campus each week. The teacher presented with the vocation chalice, and their classes, will pray for an increase in vocations within our diocese and particularly within our school family. Last week Mrs.___’s class prayed with the chalice, and today Mr. ___’s classes were presented with the chalice.
Notes:
- Some parishes do not put the chalice inside a case.
- You might want to substitute a traveling statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary or the Holy Family instead of the chalice.
- Include a photo of the chalice in all promotional communication to increase awareness and participation.
Wee Apostles is offering FREE kids vestments for any schools or parishes that are participating in the Traveling Vocations Chalice or Traveling Cross program!
