Priest Formation

A priest is an ordained leader who is called to serve a community as pastor, worship leader and teacher, and to take a share in the councils of the church.  A priest proclaims by word and deed the Gospel of Jesus Christ, cares alike for young and old, strong and weak, rich and poor, preaches, declares God’s forgiveness, pronounces God’s blessing, and shares in the administration of Holy Baptism and Holy Eucharist.
