The Church Celebrates the Year of the Priest
June 19, 2009 ~ June 19, 2010
Pope Benedict XVI has declared June 19, 2009 through June 19, 2010, as the Year of the Priest. Priests throughout the world will be provided with numerous opportunities to reflect on their vocation to the priesthood and grow in holiness. The faithul will be provided with numerous opportunities to learn more about the essential role of the priesthood and its importance to the sacramental life of the Church. Vocations to the priesthood will also be a focal point during this holy year.
The Archdiocese has numerous events and activities planned throughout the upcoming year to help us celebrate this special year. For detailed information on these events and happenings, click here. One of the simplest and most profound ways you can participate in this holy year is through the gift of your prayers for priests and priestly vocations. A special prayer composed for this year's celebration can be found here.
