Be sure your parish celebrates Priesthood Sunday on Sunday, October 25!
“Priesthood Sunday” is a day to reflect upon and affirm the role of the priesthood in the life of the Church. This annual nationwide event is coordinated and sponsored by the USA Council of Serra International. Especially during this Year of the Priest, we should all remember our priests in a special way on this day designated for doing so.

For more information, contact Larry Ricardo at the Pilot by e-mail: advertising@thebostonpilot.com or call him at (617) 746-5835.

You can read the full text of the August 28, 2009 article here: LA Times: Junipero Serra needs just one more miracle
