April 26th was Vocations Sunday. Did you Take Action?
We provided a note (below) to download, print, and put in your parish collection on Vocations Sunday (or send to your priest or bishop). If you took the action, could you let us know, and whether or not you had a response, at our hello@rootandbranchsynod.org address? Thanks.
Vocations Sunday is now over, but in the meantime we encourage you to consider speaking out further on women’s ordination by signing the letter ‘Be Not Afraid’ to Pope Leo.This petition/open letter is still live and is gathering support from all over the world.
It was set up by the Women's Ordination Conference (WOC) in the US. WOC is a member of Women's Ordination Worldwide with which we have a strong relationship.

SPEAK OUT. TAKE ACTION.
Training a Catholic priest is a significant investment for a diocese.
In the UK costs can be around £25,000 per seminarian per year for tuition, room and board – nearly £200,000 over seven or eight years.
Your Vocations Sunday offering goes toward these costs.
All seminarians are men.
