U.S. bishops launch website for Year for Priests
Washington D.C., Jun 10, 2009. (CNA) The U.S. bishops’ conference has set up a website to help mark the Year for Priests by providing prayers and other resources.
Pope Benedict XVI designated the Year to begin on the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, June 19. His announcement also designated St. John Vianney, the patron saint of parish priests, as the Universal Patron of All Priests. According to a press release from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Secretariat for Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations has set up a website in service of the year’s theme.
“Please pray for our priests that they might always be faithful to their sacred calling,” the site says.
The site includes Pope Benedict’s message for the Year of Priests and the announcement of the celebration’s plenary indulgence in English and Spanish. It also provides prayers for both priests and laity in PDF format so that they may be downloaded and printed for diocesan and parochial use.
The Secretariat plans to provide monthly articles by prominent Catholic women who will write about their “faith and trust” in the priesthood.
Other activities for the Year of Priests include a gathering of priests in Rome as well as a retreat on the national level. Information on the retreat will also be provided through the website, which is located at http://www.usccb.org/yearforpriests/index.shtml
