Elijah Cup Ministry

All parishioners are invited to sign up to take the Elijah Cup into their homes for a week to offer prayer for an increase of vocations. Our "Elijah Cup", a chalice once used in the celebration of the Mass, is presented to a family or individual following one of the Sunday Masses each week.

The Second Vatican Council instructs us that it is the job of the laity to pray for and raise up vocations, a message that was echoed by our beloved Pope John Paul II throughout his Papacy.

Praying for vocations is the most powerful way to support vocations. A vocation is a gift from God that is nurtured in prayer. When we pray for vocations, we lift up to our Father those men and women who He is calling in a very special way.

Sacred Heart Parish was honored in March of 2005 when The Pilot, of the Archdiocese of Boston ran an article about our Elijah Cup: PILOT ARTICLE
