For Immediate Release
World Priest Day to be celebrated on October 31st
Worldwide Marriage Encounter is sponsoring World Priest Day on Sunday, October
31, 2010, which coincides with the Serra Club’s Priesthood Sunday. World
Priest Day focuses on celebrating the ongoing affirmation of priests and building
of relationships between couples and priests. The mission and purpose of World
Priest Day is to celebrate and affirm the men who commit their lives to the
Lord and the Church through the Sacrament of Holy Orders. It is an opportunity
for Catholic parishioners to thank, affirm and share their love and support
for priests.
It is designed to be a day or several days to rejoice in the Sacrament of
Holy Orders. On this day, or during the week preceding or following it, Catholics
across the country are encouraged to develop one or several activities to
affirm priests. This will be a unique occasion for reaching out to priests.
Go to wpd.wwme.org for ideas that you can use. The World Priest Day National
Coordinating Team encourages you to celebrate the priests you know and love.
