Year for Priests
Pope Benedict XVI declared a new holy year – Year for Priests – starting on
June 19, the Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, with a special
commemoration on August 4, the feast of St. John-Marie Vianney, patron saint
of Priests.
We expect to have some special events here at Queen of the Apostles. In the meantime, please keep all of our Church’s Priests in your prayers this year.
If you need ideas and resources, check out what the Vatican has at:

And, of course take the time to thank Father Frank, and every Priest you
encounter this year, for their loving service to God’s people!
