Philly Adoration for Vocations
January 15 – July 2, 2026
It is the fervent desire of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to encourage the lay faithful to pray before the Most Blessed Sacrament on the day when the Eucharist and Priesthood were instituted by Christ to pray for our priests, seminarians, and an increase in Vocations to the Priesthood of Jesus Christ!
We invite all to join us in prayer on Thursdays from 9am-4pm at
Montgomery County
Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary (Ambler, PA)
