World Priest Day (AKA World Day for the Sanctification of Priests) is all about praying for your priest and his holiness! Every day our priests pray for us and our intentions as they preside over Mass, hear confessions, anoint the sick, or bury our loved ones. Don’t forget to tell your priest you are praying for him. You never know what he is going through, sacrificing out of love for us.
