- Peer support in finding a pathway to success and in dealing with job/career loss
- Seeking and understanding the spiritual meaning of God’s will in connection with career decisions

The Careering Apostle Prayer
As a Careering Apostle, inspired by Saint Joseph and the Catholic Principles associated with the Dignity of Work, we will do our best to proactively share, connect and mentor our parish members and other members of our community, with work, career and employment support. Teach us to encourage everyone seeking employment and business opportunities to have faith, and to call upon us and our Career Network Ministry for any assistance we can give.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
