Quotations

“Nothing is more attractive than a disciple following the example of Jesus in his or her life, and a lot of that example was and remains counter-cultural. We must live by Jesus' different set of values, a life where "It isn't about me, it's about you," a life where there is something greater than the dollar or the status or the attention, a life worth sacrificing for the sake of others".

(Father James Forsen, director of the Los Angeles Archdiocesan Office for Vocations).

Sunday 25th September:priesthood_sunday_logo

 

Priesthood Sunday, September 25th, 2011, is a special day set aside to honour and promote priesthood. It is a day to reflect upon and affirm the role of the priesthood in the life of the Church as a central one.  This nationwide event was first coordinated and sponsored by The Year of Vocation, in 2008.

 

 

What happens on Priesthood Sunday?
The people of parishes in the country develop their own special way of marking the day and honouring their priests both at Mass and other parish events, such as social celebrations and school activities.
Priesthood Sunday is designed to be an event led by the laity, but you can ask your priest to participate by talking about how he experienced and answered his own calling and about priests who have inspired him.
Priesthood Sunday offers an opportunity for priests and their parishioners to build a stronger working relationship. Together, they can dialogue to take an honest look at the challenges of the future and how they can collaborate to meet those challenges as a united force.
It is also a time to promote vocations to the priesthood within the parish, inviting men of all ages, who are free to do so, to consider this call.
