Do not wait until a priest retires or is transferred to celebrate their service. Like Father’s Day, let Priesthood Sunday be the one day a year when we make it a point to make priests feel truly appreciated and special.
What is Priesthood Sunday? Priesthood Sunday is a special day set aside to honor priesthood in the United States. It is a day to reflect upon and affirm the role of the priesthood in the life of the Church as a central one. This nationwide event is coordinated and sponsored by the US Council of Serra International. When is Priesthood Sunday celebrated? Priesthood Sunday is celebrated on the last Sunday of September. Why is Priesthood Sunday important? More than the other events listed above, Priesthood Sunday is a more personal one for parishes and organizations with a chaplain.
