Vocations: Traveling Monstrance of Pope John Paul II (2012)
The Traveling Monstrance Blessed by Pope John Paul II Available for use in your Diocese: On November 24, 2004 Pope John Paul II blessed six monstrances for use during the Year of the Eucharist for people to pray for an increase of vocations to ordained ministry and consecrated life. The six monstrances were then sent to the six continents of the world. One of these monstrances, designated for use in North America, was presented to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The monstrance has been sent to various dioceses around the United States and Canada, throughout the past six years and used in cathedrals, parishes, campus/youth ministry programs or seminaries/religious houses to facilitate Eucharistic Adoration for vocations to ordained ministry and consecrated life.
