Guide to Ongoing Formation for Priests

xvi | GUIDE TO ONGOING FORMATION FOR PRIESTS

On behalf of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Committee on Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations, I extend my deepest gratitude to all those individuals who contributed to this project over the last three years. May Mary, the Mother of God and Queen of Apostles, and St. John Vianney, patron saint of priests, intercede for all priests so that they may continue to conform their lives to the image of Christ, the Good Shepherd in service to the Gospel.
