This Priesthood Sunday, we give thanks to God for all priests who faithfully answer His call and dedicate their lives to serving His people. May we continue to pray for our priests and for more vocations to the priesthood. A special thank you to our own Fr. Isaac for his faithful service to our parish. 🙏

What is Priesthood Sunday?
Priesthood Sunday seeks to reaffirm the priesthood of Jesus Christ and its central place in the life of the Church. This day also specifically honors priests, without whom the Holy Sacraments could not be conferred, for a single day out of the 365 days of the year during which they tirelessly serve their parishes. Celebrate and thank a priest today! Pray for your priests, pray for vocations, thank your priest, invite your priest to dinner, and/or send a card or letter to a retired priest.

Blessing Prayer for your Priest
In your loving kindness, O good and gracious God, you sent your Son to be our shepherd and guide. Father ________ continues Christ's ministry of working in the vineyard by sustaining and guiding your holy people. Bless Father ________. Let your Spirit uphold him always in his service to the people of this parish. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

What happens on Priesthood Sunday?
The lay faithful of all parishes in the USA develop their own special way of marking the day and honoring their parish priests 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 be sure to ask each parish priest to participate by talking about how they experienced and answered their own calling and about priests who have inspired them.

Priesthood Sunday allows priests and parishioners to build a stronger working relationship. Together, they can take an honest look at the challenges of the future and how they can collaborate to meet those challenges as a united force.

What is the US Council of Serra International?

More than 7,000 Serrans in over 200 clubs nationwide collaborate with their bishops, parishes, and vocation directors to fulfill this mission.
