The title of this post is one that I am sure every priest has been asked at least once in his ministry. It is not an easy question to answer as the life and work of a priest is so varied. There is the usual liturgical life of the priest: Offering Holy Mass and celebrating the other sacraments of the Church. In additon to this there are visits to the sick, schools, colleges, hospitals, school governor meetings that make demands on his time.
To-day I was visiting Year Five of our primary school to talk to them about the life and work of a priest. As part of our lesson I talked to the children about the different vestments that a priest wears in the celebration of Holy Mass. One of the children was a very willing model.WHO KNOWS THIS MIGHT BE THE SEEDS OF A VOCATION.

Hello, Fr.,
Enjoy your blog etc however as I cannot find your personal email address, I have to point out that the Primary school website needs to be updated to show your good self as Parish Priest - it is still showing Fr. Paul Carr as PP on the home page.
It's best to have things up to date, isn't it, Fr.,?
Kindest regards
VM
