Priests serve God and others through:
- Offering pastoral care – visiting the sick and troubled, counselling individuals, married couples or families, animating parish projects and activities.
- Proclaiming God’s word – through the witness of our lives and through homilies founded on daily reflection and prayer.
- Ministering the Sacraments – celebrating Eucharist and baptism, witnessing marriages, leading funerals, and bringing God’s healing presence to people through the Sacraments of Penance (Confession) and the Anointing of the Sick.
