Spiritual Formation of Priests

"The good pastor must be rooted in contemplation.

Only in this way will he be able to take upon himself the needs of others

and make them his own!"

~ Pope Benedict XVI ~

"Through the teaching and mentoring provided in the program I have deepened in my prayer life, and it has made me a better pastor, confessor, spiritual director and vocation director. The classes have been the most significant spiritual event in my young priesthood."

~ Rev. James Mason ~
Vocation Director,
Diocese of Sioux Falls

Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ, Eternal High Priest, Mother of all priests, and our Mother, help us respond generously to the Holy Spirit's request, through the voice of His Church, to offer up to God Eucharistic adoration for priests. Amen.
