World Priest Day (AKA World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests) is appropriately celebrated each year on the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Some places named the last weekend in September as World Priest Day instead of Priesthood Sunday, which is a day of affirmation not prayer.

Especially now, when circumstances have our priests out of their comfort zone in a variety of ways, let us pray that the Holy Spirit will come down upon them and light their heart anew for the priesthood.

World Priest Day is June 19th!
