September 27, 2020 has been designated as Priesthood Sunday. This day has been chosen by the USA Council of SERRA International as a day to honor our priests. It is a day to reflect upon and affirm the role of the priesthood in the life of the church as a central one. Please join the church on this special day in praying for our priests, in praising God for their courage and their generosity. We urge you to make your appreciation for your parish priest known. A simple note, a smile or a phone call to assure him of your loving care and gratitude for his presence in the life of your local church will go a long way to serve the greater good of our wonderful Catholic Church.
Grant them wisdom, let their minds be sober and watchful, so that they may be filled with works of healing and words of instruction. May they teach your people in meekness and serve you in holiness with a undivided mind and a willing soul. Amen.
