Diocesan Priesthood

Here are some examples of what a priest does:

• Celebrates Mass, baptisms, weddings, reconciliation and funerals
• Prays daily
• Preaches the Gospel
• Brings others to realize God's presence in their lives
• Ministers in a parish with staff and volunteers
• Leads people in prayer
• Teaches in Catholic schools and/or religious education programs
• Visits the sick, dying, homebound
• Witnesses to the dignity of all human life
• Calls people to a greater sense of justice
• Serves as a living example of a Christian servant
• Loves others with the love of Christ the Good Shepherd

More important than what a priest does, however, is WHO a priest IS.  A priest is a disciple of the Lord Jesus, deeply in love with Him, and desiring to serve His Church, who is called to give his life for the sake of the Gospel.  A priest is a witness to the reality of Christ in the world today.
