CULTIVATES VOCATIONS
Allentown Bishop Thomas Welsh lauded St. Joseph’s PEA program for its large number of adorers. Msgr. Anthony Wassel of St. Joseph’s Parish in Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania believes that a late vocation to the priesthood and a contemplative order of nuns are the result of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in his parish. He says, "the power is in the Eucharist"
("God’s Work!": Perpetual Adoration, John Haut, Soul Magazine, January-February, 1998, p. 16).

Bishop Seamus Hegarty of Deify, Ireland says that when he was Bishop of Raphoe, there were 20 vocations in 1990, and 19 came from parishes that had Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration. He believes that PEA is the greatest contribution he made as Bishop
("By Your Fruits", Dr. J. F. Boyle, The Link, January 1996).
