The 31 Club
This is a religious vocations prayer activity where the aim is to have in every Parish at least one Mass offered for vocations every day of the year through the simple idea of asking parishioners to commit to offer one Mass for priestly and religious vocations on a chosen date each month for the next year. Anyone can join, just pick a date. Then, each month for the next year, offer your Mass on that date. If your chosen date is unsuitable or you forget, any day in the month will do. To take part, please put your name in one of the dates on the calendar on the noticeboard.
