What does priestly fraternity actually look like in everyday life? In this episode of the Saint John’s Seminary Podcast, Vice Rector Fr. Stanislaus Achu sits down with Rector Bishop Robert Reed to unpack the June 17 conference for priests hosted at Saint John’s Seminary, focusing on the importance of fraternity in the life and ministry of a priest. Their conversation explores practical ways priests can cultivate meaningful relationships with their brother priests, including different models of living fraternity in community. They also discuss the role of rectory life and the importance of creating a healthy separation between the spaces where priests work and the spaces where they live, and rest. The conversation also looks back to the seminary, where seminarians begin forming the friendships and bonds of brotherhood that can sustain them throughout a lifetime of ministry. Listen as Fr. Stanislaus and Bishop Reed reflect on how priests can continue to grow together as brothers, supporting one another as they give their lives in service to Christ and His Church.
