Heralds of the Good News!

This weekend in the parishes of Washington County, the people are listening to the annual Mission Cooperative Appeal. Our missionary is Fr. Charles from India and he is representing the Heralds of the Good News. This is a new missionary society, only 25 years old, founded in 1984. To date, the Heralds of the Good News have 350 priests and 450 seminarians. This is truly a society that is growing at a fast pace. Fr. Charles is here to talk about their mission in their world and asking us to pray for their priests and seminarians. Also, the continued call to pray for more vocations is still there. We pray that men and women will be open to the call of God in their lives and consider a vocation to the priesthood and religious life. As our Lord said, "The harvest is rich, but laborers are few." We need to ask the master of the harvest to send more laborers into the harvest. May God bless us with more vocations and more heralds to go forth and proclaim the Good News. Have a blessed day!!!
