“If Tom Gordon had not fled the family farm in the West of Ireland, his political opponents in the recent civil war would have murdered him. Instead, helped by the local priest, he took the first available boat from the Port of Sligo to Glasgow. Tom Gordon was my father.”

The Priesthood Today
Most Catholics understand that the well-being of our priests depends on the whole parish community. That’s one reason why the Catholic Church is observing a special “Year of the Priest,” which started on June 19, the Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Pope Benedict XVI called for this special year to focus our Church on the priesthood and to encourage priests’ yearning for what he called “spiritual perfection,” the keystone for effectiveness in their ministry.
