Archbishop Murphy delivered this address to the Serra Wisconsin State Convention in Janesville, WI. He offered a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities the Catholic Church will confront in the years to come as she develops and prepares young men for priesthood and ministry in the 21st century. “As we encourage young men to consider priesthood, we must also help prepare them for ministry in a Church which is trying to respond to the signs of the times,” said Bishop Murphy. “The expectations by people of who a priest is and what he does will change dramatically, especially in his role as pastor in service to the Christian community.”
