As World Priest Day approaches, scheduled for this Sunday, September 28, the Family Life Commission of the Diocese of Roseau is calling on parishioners and the wider community to observe and celebrate all Priests and Deacons.<\/p>\n
This day has been dedicated annually on the last Sunday of September for the past 24 years in various dioceses around the world. However, this year marks its inaugural observance within the Diocese of Roseau, said a press release from the Family Life Commission.<\/p>\n
Community members are encouraged to find meaningful and heartfelt ways to commend, affirm, and express appreciation for the clergy\u2014priests and deacons\u2014serving across the diocese. The group said that this special recognition offers an opportunity to honor these men in fresh, personal, and generous manners, reflecting their vital roles within the church community.<\/p>\n
In the release,\u00a0 it is also stressed that this year is particularly significant for the diocese as it commemorates 175 years of evangelization. The occasion provides a fitting backdrop to make the 2025 jubilee celebration memorable, honoring the dedication of the priests and deacons, shared the statement.<\/p>\n
The Family Life Commission also extended its heartfelt salute and recognition to all priests and deacons, whether currently serving or having served in the Diocese of Roseau. It acknowledged what it says is the profound truth that without families, there would be no priests, and without priests, the celebration of Mass and the sustenance of faith would not be possible. Therefore, the commission urges the community to affirm and appreciate their clergy like never before, emphasizing the indispensable role they play in nurturing faith and community life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As World Priest Day approaches, scheduled for this Sunday, September 28, the Family Life Commission of the Diocese of Roseau is calling on parishioners and the wider community to observe and celebrate all Priests and Deacons.
