CHURCH NEWS BITS: June 2009 to June 2010 as Year for Priests & Year of the Two Hearts for Peace-Building and Lay Participation in Social Change

The Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI has declared June 2009 to June 2010 as Year for Priests. In conjunction with this the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines also declared the same period as Year of the Two Hearts for Peace-Building and Lay Participation in Social Change. The celebrations for both open on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart last June 19, 2009.

Let this period dedicated by the Church for the Sanctification of Priests inflame in us and in all the faithful under our care a deeper love for Jesus and His most Sacred Heart, full of trust on Mary, His Mother, and our Mother, too, that she will constantly and lovingly guide us to Her Son.
