A Year for Priests
Quotations
"Today, because of their number, priests by themselves cannot fulfil this complete three-fold role of evangelising, sanctifying and shepherding, especially in big parishes where the needs are too great, too numerous and too various. The decline in vocations to priesthood is therefore, not only a challenge to pray for more priests, but also a challenge to avail of the talents of many lay people...But just as the priest needs the cooperation of the laity to fulfill his role, the laity too, need the priest to fulfill theirs. First and foremost they need him for his proclamation of the Word and his celebration of the Eucharist."
(Saint Josephs Young Priests Society)
