The annual celebration of Derry Diocesan Vocations Week has been extended this year to a nine-day festival of prayer, beginning Saturday, 17^th April and concluding on Good Shepherd Sunday, 25^th April. 

The theme for this year's Vocations Week is based on "Patris Corde" ('With a Father's Heart.'), Pope Francis' recent publication for the year of Saint Joseph. Included are a series of daily reflections based on the themes, which Pope Francis highlights in his document.

Daily Liturgy and Prayers 

Through the nine-day festival of prayer, parishes are encouraged to participate in the schedule of daily prayer. Each daily resource is listed below and includes:

• Gospel reading;
• Vocation prayer of the day;
• Daily reflection; and
  
• An introduction for daily Mass.

Additional vocation resources for the Angelus, the Rosary, a daily Examen and prayers for vocations are also listed.
