During the Year of the Eucharist in 2004-2005, Pope St. John Paul II asked the then-Cardinal Ratzinger to bless and send forth a monstrance for vocations when he was elected Pope.
That same year, John Paul passed away, and Cardinal Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI. He then honored his promise and entrusted a monstrance to Serra International, a lay apostate dedicated to increasing vocations.
Nativity of Our Lord will host this precious monstrance, displaying the Blessed Sacrament during Adoration. Please join us during these special hours! But wherever you are, let’s all pray together for vocations and for the future of the Church.
