Called to Serve...
Diocesan Priests are called to serve in the local parish
community. Like Jesus they are encouraged to reach out to
all and walk with them in their journey through life.
Through their service they encourage their faith community
to strive to be a living sign of Jesus’ presence and
action in the world.
Are you ready to journey with people through their hopes,
fears and dreams?
Are you ready to go out and meet people where they are:
in their homes, hospitals, prisons and workplaces?
Are you ready to be Jesus’ hands and feet?
Called to Pray...
Priests are called before all else to be heralds of the
Gospel. They find their constant nourishment in God’s
Word, and assist the parish community in hearing God’s
Word and living it in their daily lives.
Priests are called to continue Christ’s work among
his people through the celebration of the Sacraments –
welcoming,
healing, forgiving, strengthening and uniting – and
most particularly in the celebration of the Eucharist.
Are you ready to find God wherever you are?
Are you ready to look at how you relate with self, others
God and the World?
Are you ready to gather God’s people around the table
of the Eucharist?
Called to Lead...
Through the life and ministry of priests, God continues
to nourish the faith community, especially through Word
and Sacrament. The diocesan priest has a key role in assisting
the faithful to apply Christian values to the world in which
they live, and encouraging all Christians to be active in
the world.
Are you ready to inspire others to change the world?
Are you ready to stand with the oppressed and marginalised?
Are you ready to preach the Word that gives life, and frees
people to be fully alive; to be a prophetic voice crying
in the wilderness?
