Vocations Chalice Program

The Vocations Chalice program involves parish families in vocations awareness by inviting a family to pray for vocations over the chalice at their evening meal for one week.  

For the progam at St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Boynton Beach, the family assigned for the week will attend the 8:30am Mass on Sunday in order to receive the chalice from the celebrant. It is to be returned to church in time for the following Sunday's 8:30am Mass. A booklet of vocations prayers is given to the family to use during the week. Vocations prayers from the booklet can also be found on our Vocations page.

For more information contact chalice@serraspbc.org.

The Knights of Columbus website has numerous vocations resources and support materials. Under the motto “Keep the Faith Alive,” the Order’s vocations initiative has a number of programs based on prayer and designed to reach the hearts and minds of young people, as well as to provide financial support during their years of seminary training or religious formation.

Citizens for Science and Ethics

Citizens for Science and Ethics, Inc. is a non-profit corporation based in Florida seeking to establish an ethical framework for state-funded stem-cell research. They support a ballot initiative which would allow public funding to pursue promising research, such as in the areas of adult, umbilical cord, and placental-derived stem cells, while at the same time creating a standard that does not disenfranchise the many taxpayers of the state who find some forms of experimentation unethical.

Sign a petition to prohibit state funding of experimentation that involves the destruction of live human embryos.

Learn more about stem cell research and ways you can help by visiting the Life Issues Institute website.
