Year for
Priests
Pope
Benedict XVI has declared a
“Year
for Priests” beginning with the
Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of
Jesus on June 19, 2009. The year
will conclude in Rome with an
international gathering of priests
with the Holy Father on June 19,
2010.
With the
announcement
of this Year for Priests,
the Pope
has declared St. John Vianney the
Universal Patron of Priests on the
occasion of the 150th anniversary
of the death of the Curé d’Ars.
Each of our Sisters has spiritually adopted a
priest to pray for that he
might always be faithful to his
sacred calling.
