St. John Vianney

Patron of Priests

Heavenly Father,

We thank you for our faithful priests,

whose spiritual fatherhood and example

of fidelity, sacrifice, and devotion is so

vital to the faith of your people.

Give our priests courageous faith in the

face of confusion and conflict, hope in

time of trouble and sorrow, and steadfast

love for you and for all your people. May

they grow in holiness and may the light of

your truth shine through their lives and

their good works.

We ask your blessing upon our seminarians

and all men who are discerning a call to the

priesthood. We also beg you to stir into

flame the call to the priesthood that you

have placed in the hearts of many men in

our diocese and throughout the Church.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, our

Eternal High Priest. Amen

St. John Vianney, Patron of Priests,

pray for us and for all our priests.
