“We want to say to the world, with humility and joy: look to Christ!
Draw near to Him! Welcome His Word that enlightens and consoles!
Listen to His proposal of love to become His one and only family:
in the one Christ, we are one.”
(from the homily of Pope Leo XIV on the occasion of the Eucharistic Celebration
for the Beginning of the Petrine Ministry, 18.05.2025)
The seats are limited: the Priests, to ensure their participation, are invited to register now by directly contacting the Dicastery for the Clergy
IN LIGHT OF THE "FUNDAMENTAL RATIO"
"THE GIFT OF THE PRIESTLY VOCATION"
The course is intended to the priests who are finalizing their ongoing formation in Rome and who wish to:
Grow in the awareness of being trainers of the people of God and with the ability to promote vocational and priestly pastoral care in parishes, seminaries, and other diocesan pastoral structures.
Review their personal history through a careful life review under the light of the received gift, to welcome the impulse of the Holy Spirit to sustain their disciples life towards configuration to Christ, the Servant and Good Shepherd.
Deepen their own vocational discernment, the profound motivations, and the very specific aspects of their priestly and ministerial life.
