Partners for Progress
program, and the homeless in our Shower
Program. This year promises to be the best yet with over 20 restaurants donating their favorite and most scrumptious soup. Other features that will make this the best event ever are appealing appetizers, sensational celebrity servers, amazing auctions, rousing raffles and YOU! Besides ticket registration, we have three other ways you can participate: We have corporate sponsorships still available. Join other generous Cleveland area businesses in supporting our event. The earlier the commitment, the earlier we can put your company logo on all our material so others can know you too are a part of this worthy cause and celebration. We are selling ads in our program. For a limited time, you can support our efforts and buy an ad for as little as $50. We are looking for auction and raffle items of distinction to help make

Prayer for Vocations
Compassionate God, You speak your word to us through prophets of long
ago and continue to reveal your message of love today. With great
expectation we look to your Spirit to work in our world, empowering us
to serve you as Jesus did.
May we listen for your word and respond generously to your call. Renew
in us thy grace of our baptism. Strengthen married couples, single men
and women, deacons, priests, sisters, and brothers as they seek to
serve you by sharing their love and compassion. Grant wisdom to those
who are discerning their call. With gratitude we proclaim the Good
News of Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
National Vocation Awareness Week begins with the feast of the Baptism of the Lord. We are invited to renew our baptismal commitment and to pray for a strengthening of all vocations.

And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. - Mt 2:9-11
