Pope Benedict says it’s the “Year of the Priest” - Beginning with June 19, the Pope has designated this year as the year of the priest. I’m sure many of you are wondering, “What can I do for our priests?”. The first thing you can do is pray for them, every day. Adding sacrifices for them would be a great second step. If you have the time, writing them a note of thanks would be “icing on the cake.”  New
