A priest does not stand far from the people.
He comes close.
He listens.
He walks with them.

In the Diocese of Legazpi, this is the life of a diocesan priest—serving God by serving His people, in moments both big and small.

If you or someone you know feels that God may be calling you, take time to discern.
