Priesthood

A vocation to priesthood is a beautiful invitation to love and to serve the people of God.

Through sacramental ordination, men called to the priesthood are transformed; sharing in the sacred priesthood of Christ in a special way – representing Him, the Good Shepherd, in the communities in which we live.

From preaching, to ministering the Sacraments, to walking with people on their journey of faith, priests are the very representation of Christ in the daily lives of the faithful.
