Join us for the inspirational talk at 4pm by Fr. Jim McCormack, MIC - "The Priesthood in the Diary of St. Faustina", followed at 5pm by the Worldpriest Annual Global - "Rosary Relay for Priests".
In the New Testament, St. Paul writes, “We have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God” (Heb 4:14). So, if Jesus is the Great High Priest once and for all, who, then, are Catholic priests? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains how Christ established the priesthood, delegating His authority to forgive sins on earth to the Apostles and their successors (bishops and priests) down to the present day, known as Apostolic Succession. Then hear the story of Br. Gabriel, a Franciscan Friar who puts his faith and ministry on wheels – literally!
Hear Fr. Matthew Tomeny, MIC share highlights of stories of Catholic chaplains throughout the US Military's history.
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.
