Join Fr. Chris Alar as he discusses the purpose for holy Catholic priests and things you never knew about why we have to have the Priesthood. He explains everything from the scandal to renewal and how you are called to participate. 

Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC as he discusses the Sacrament of Holy Orders. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says, "...call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in Heaven." (Mt 23:9) So why do we address Catholic priests as "Father?" This teaching is part of Fr. Chris's brand-new book, Understanding the Sacraments: God's Grace Guaranteed —a must-have guide to the spiritual treasures of the Church.

Father Richard Conlin is a Catholic priest in the diocese of Vancouver, British Columbia. As the Catholic Church kicked off a campaign to educate the faithful on the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, I asked him to share his thoughts.
