Family members share their personal experiences of having a close family member join the priesthood.
Send us the names of your loved ones who are sick or suffering. The Aleteia prayer network of 550 monasteries will take them to prayer for the World Day of the Sick.
Being called to religious life is a mystery to many of us. It’s difficult to appreciate what this calling entails, and how it impacts the lives of the families of the men who’ve answered a call from God to priestly ministry.
What stands out when people share what it’s like to have a priest in the family are the beautiful ways it has blessed their lives as individuals and as families.
The inspiring comments in this slideshow demonstrate what a special gift it is to have a priest in the family. So take a few moments to consider what these parents and siblings have shared with Aleteia about their priestly relatives and see what a blessing it is to be called to serve God in this way.
And today we celebrate...
