Young people who have taken part in World Youth Day might also be considering a vocation to the ordained priesthood or to religious life. To help with this discernment process Priests for Scotland is offering a retreat experience to both men and women (aged over 18years). If you would like more information on this event please contact the Priests for Scotland office or call 0141 554 6936.


Lord, we pray: Bless the young people around the world. Reveal Yourself to those who are searching for You. Awake those who do not believe in You. Strengthen the faith of those who confess You. Let them continuously set out to You like the three Wise Men from the East. Make them architects of a new civilisation of love and witnesses of hope for the whole world. Through them be close to those who suffer from hunger, war and violence.

We ask this through You, our Lord and God, living in the unity with the Father and the Holy Spirit, reigning forever and ever. Amen.
