Six Paths To The Priesthood

Six men share what inspired them to serve God and His people as Catholic priests in the Order of Preachers.

I thought I might have a vocation to priesthood and while I'm still considering it, I feel like I'm being called to very deep prayer which I'm not so sure a priest has time for. I've been spending most of my free hours in prayer, but it just feels like it's not enough. It feels like my job is getting in the way. I feel more fulfilled on the weekends when I can pray most of the day.

So inspiring and beautiful to watch. Got teared up while watching...Thank you for saying YES to God's call. May Jesus, the Eternal High Priest and Blessed Mother Mary be with you all for always. Know that I will be praying for you all. I say 3 Hail Marys each day and on Thursdays our prayer group devotes 20 minutes to pray for priests. As Catholics we should pray daily for our Pope, Bishops & Priests. They need our prayers, too. They are the target of satan.

~ Lord Jesus, You have chosen Your priests from among us and sent them out to proclaim Your word and act in Your name.
For so great a gift to Your Church, we give You praise and thanksgiving, we ask You to fill them with the fire of Your love, that their ministry may reveal Your presence in the Church.

I’m from Delaware and I serve in that very church that was shown and I’m thinking about becoming a Dominican Priest. It just awestruck me to think Delaware be mentioned anywhere let alone in something I want to learn about. This is really cool for me.

Now this is what I love to see on YouTube. So wonderful to see so many young men following God's call. I will pray they will be our future Priests and not turn away from God's calling. I hope they realize how blessed they are. God bless you all!

I've just watched this special, Bishop. Thank you for your support of th Order of Preachers.

Since COVID timex, i turned from a Diocesan Catholic to becoming a Dominican Catholic. Their preaching is so much clearer and open to their brothers and sisters, and so very courageous. They are so different from Diocesan priests because they live in commitment to a community. Their brothers in their Priory, the brothers in their Province, their commitment to the Order around our world and universally within the Church.

The Order has saved my life, literally saved my life many times over!!! They saved me spiritually! I was in a dessert... I need to hear the Word of God from their hearts

I am praying for you, Bishop and for the Pope. I am praying you may be named as Archbishop to the faithful in Denver... we need you very badly here!! 🙏🙏🙏

So thankful for these men. I can't wait to go back to my Dominican parish.

Watched with tears of joy welling up. How so beautiful and holy. One of these priests ordained served at St. Vincent Ferrer & St. Catherine of Siena parish in NYC. I am so very blessed to be a member of this parish. Fr. Joseph Hagan will soon be the Pastor at Catholic University Newman Center. Before he left NYC for his new assignment, he was even more energetic and devoted to serving the people in our parish. He was everywhere--directing RCIA, serving multiple Holy Masses, hearing Confession seemingly non-stop, preaching at Parish Study programs, and always, always, joyfully serving the thousands of parishioners who were clamoring for his attention and time. He was so fervent that some of us worried that he was going without sleep and food. His beautiful face was always full of the love for Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and for His people. Indeed, every Dominican priest I have encountered is extraordinary.

More of such videos please! So inspiring!

I was once, long ago, music directory at St Louis Bertrand. In charity, the deep and profound lack of knowledge in and of traditional sacred chant and polyphony is enormously and breath takingly sad. Because of this, my ministry, which had a 92 percent congregation approval, was destroyed by clergy who were far from just, truthful and Christian.

[martinstanislas]

Wow...watching this video brought into me a sudden sadness...I actually miss being in the Holy Order of Friers Preachers...😢

[bfoutsy]
