  5. Traveling AFV monstrance - On November 24, 2004 the late 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 Bishops' Committee on Vocations arranged for the monstrance to be sent to various dioceses throughout the United States and Canada, for use in cathedrals, parishes, campus/youth ministry programs, and seminaries/religious houses to facilitate prayer for vocations to ordained ministry and consecrated life. If you would like to find out more from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website you can click here. They would like you to contact your vocation director if you are interested in having the Vocations Monstrance visit your diocese or parish.
