Priesthood is a Vocation in the Catholic Church that men are united to Christ the Head and make present his healing work through the Sacraments. Priests are connected to the people they serve and particularly connected through Christ. Listen to Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C share more in this segment from the Son Rise Morning Show on Sacred Heart Radio, in his reflection on his Vocation story and practical advice for newly ordained priests.“Today is a day of great joy for the Church and for each of you who are being ordained as priests — together with your families, friends and companions in your years of formation. As the Rite of Ordination emphasizes in many places, the relationship between what we celebrate today and the People of God is fundamental. The depth, greatness and even duration of this divine joy that we now share are directly proportional to the bonds that exist and will deepen between you, who are being ordained, and the people from which you come, of which you remain a part and to which you are sent. I will dwell on this aspect, always keeping in mind that the identity of a priest depends on union with Christ, the Eternal High Priest.” - Pope Leo XIV, Homily for Mass of priestly ordination May 31, 2025.Notes:Jubilee ResourcesView Vocational Discernment ResourcesRead Pope Leo’s Homily from Ordination MassVisit Pope Leo XIV resource pageOn Mission podcast: Holy Orders
