Annual Day of Prayer for Priests
In 2002, the Catholic Church announced a special annual world priest day, a day of prayer for the sanctification of 
priests to be held on the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
The 2010 to 2011 ‘’Year of The Priests’’ was a tremendous success worldwide. We are most grateful to all who participated in making this year of prayer such a special gift to all priests.
We are now especially interested in receiving messages from lay people young and old alike, to be viewed on line. We also ask priests to share their stories of ministry with their brother priests and the lay people of the world on line.
Today, together we confirm that the Holy Rosary is not a pious practice banished to the past, like prayers of other times thought of with nostalgia. Instead, the Rosary is experiencing a new Springtime. Learn More >
We are encouraging people around the world at 3pm local time to spend a quiet moment praying in thanksgiving for our Priests. Learn More >
The Annual Global Rosary Relay for Priests
The Annual Rosary Relay idea is a simple one: that in each of these 48 shrines a particular mystery of the Rosary at a particular hour in the day would be prayed in thanksgiving to God for our priests and to implore the protection and loving care of Our Lady, Mother of all priests, for all her priestly sons. With the coming of midnight on the 15th June 2012, the entire world, by then, will have been encircled in prayer for our priests on this The Annual Rosary Relay Day. Learn More >
