April 26, 2026 – 4th Sunday of Easter

The World Day of Prayer for Vocations is observed on Sunday, April 26, 2026, which is also known as “Good Shepherd Sunday.” The purpose of this day is to publicly fulfill the Lord’s instruction to “pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest” (Matthew 9:38; Luke 10:2).

Please pray that young men and women hear and respond generously to the Lord’s call to the priesthood, diaconate, religious life, societies of apostolic life, or secular institutes. Please also pray for all young people, that they may know the personal love of the Lord for them and respond with open and generous hearts. Find ideas and tools to help promote vocations offered by Serra International.
