Praised be Jesus Christ! Welcome to Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s Website for Priestly Vocations. This year, the Church of Philadelphia is celebrating her Bicentennial Year. For 200 years, the Sacred Mysteries of Jesus Christ have been proclaimed, lived and celebrated by heroic priests, religious, lay men and women of our Archdiocese.

Today, this work of Jesus continues in our priests and in those among us who are heeding the call of Christ, preparing to be Catholic Priests. I am proud to present these men to you on these pages, and I pray that their courage will inspire you to consider the call of Jesus. The priesthood is an awesome life, be not afraid to “Heed The Call”.
