For Vocations:

Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time –

November 8, 2026

“Keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.” Jesus calls us to be ready, attentive, and faithful to His invitation. Priesthood and consecrated life ask for hearts that remain vigilant, prepared to serve God and His people with generosity and love. Pray for guidance and clarity in discerning how He may be calling you to serve.

Talk to your priest or contact Cn. John Cooke. vocations@portsmouthdiocese.org.uk or call
