Year for Priests
Pope Benedict XVI has declared a “Year for Priests” beginning with the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 19, 2009. The year will conclude in Rome with an international gathering of priests with the Holy Father on June 19, 2010.
With the announcement of this Year for Priests, the Pope has declared St. John Vianney the Universal Patron of Priests on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the death of the Curé d’Ars.
Please pray for our priests that they might always be faithful to their sacred calling.
We will announce special activies throughout the year.
Prayer for Priests
God, you appointed your Son, Jesus Christ as Eternal High Priest for your glory and the salvation of all.
To those Christ has chosen as stewards of the sacred mysteries and preachers of the holy gospel
grant the grace to be faithful in fulfilling their ministry. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
