072820 vocations coverThis year’s Vocations cover features a depiction of the Holy Family by the 17th-century Spanish painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.

The image was chosen by Bishop Peter Jugis to illustrate this year’s Eucharistic Congress theme, “Be Holy,” from 1 Peter 1:16.

“The Holy Family is a model for our families and for each individually of our vocation to holiness in Christ,” the bishop said.

The in-person Eucharistic Congress has been canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the faithful of the Diocese of Charlotte are being encouraged to celebrate our devotion to the Eucharist locally in parishes and at home.
