VOCATIONS REPORT
Happy to share that incoming Dooley Division Vice President Dan Caffrey will hand deliver a $500 check and card to this year's recipient of the division's donation for vocations to Seminarian Jack Shanahan. This will take place this morning before their 12 pm Seminarian Mass at St. Paul's with Bishop Knestout. These funds are raised from our 50/50 Raffle (and generous donations back to the fund from some winners) throughout the year.

The Dooley Divison officers would also like to remind their brothers of what has been contributed in the Hibernian Year 2022 to the parishes and clergy we support....

Also, $100 Christmas checks to 8 area Priests and Bishop Knestout ($900 total).
