in the Main Church
to pray for our parish priests.
Our priests need your prayers to gain the
necessary graces to take on the enormous task
of renewing the Church.
Bring the whole family to pray and sign an
Easter card for our priests.
“One saint after another has declared that the devil’s principal target on earth is the Catholic priest. But if priests are to be truly priestly, they need, how they need, to have the faithful offer their own trials and temptations to obtain from the great High Priest, Jesus Christ, the light and strength that the priesthood demands. I recommend, therefore, that all the faithful daily, in a special and concrete way, pray for priests. I further strongly recommend that all the faithful offer up each day some sacrifice. I am tempted to say some little sacrifice. NO! I suggest it be the most difficult sacrifice of the day [so that] the Church of the future will not only survive, but please God in our own country, will thrive. But that will occur only where and insofar as the priests have not only been faithful to their vocation, but have lived their priesthood in a living martyrdom in union with the first martyr, Jesus Christ. It is, therefore, no mere recommendation or exhortation: Pray and sacrifice for priests.”
