Why do guys become priests?
- to lead from the heart of the community
- to follow in Christ’s footsteps
- to bring hope to those who are disillusioned
- to give courage to those who are afraid
- to share our strength and weakness
- to celebrate the gift of eternal life
Priesthood makes a real difference in our world today by reaching out and touching all our lives.
