"Priests Need Families and Families Need Priests" with Fr. Jon Meyer and Brian Wynne

Mamas in Spirit

When Chaplain Fr. Jon Meyer was about to be ordained as a priest in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, he was interviewed regarding his Vocation. One of the things he said has often been quoted from that interview: "Priests need families and families need priests." Marriage and Holy Orders are Vocational Sacraments--both are are lifestyles rooted in Christ and expressed in different ways. They share a call to holiness, love and total self gift. May we create relationships with the priests in our churches and dioceses that fortify and enrich one another's Vocations.
