When my bishop arrived in this diocese in 2010, he asked everybody to pray for vocations. He encouraged us to do this in front of the Blessed Sacrament whenever possible. We get prayer cards with the names of our seminarians, one per day of the month per person, and the rest of the days with first the Pope, then the bishop, and then groups for each of the other days. When he arrived there was talk of consolidating parishes; now there's a fund on Pentecost Sunday to pay for their educations, which became necessary a few years after his arrival. Amazing what prayer for vocations will do.
