We have been called to share in the ministry of Jesus Christ through the gift of Holy Orders. However, the demands and challenges of ministry can easily temper and mitigate our appreciation and zeal for that gift. It needs to be refreshed and nurtured in every season of our lives.
The 2023 AOFP National Convention is an opportunity for us to heed St. Paul’s exhortation to Timothy in our own time – together as priests.
