Archbishop Murphy emphasizes the need for vocations to the priesthood in his weekly Catholic Northwest Progress “In Joy and Hope” column. The entire Christian community bears the obligation to invite young men to consider a vocation to the priesthood. He characterizes the priesthood an essential ministry. ” Not only is there the need to encourage vocations to priesthood, there is the ongoing need to support the priests who are serving us,” said Archbishop Murphy. “In fact, we must seek ways to support and encourage all people who serve us in our local church and to express our gratitude to them for the gifts they share with us.”
