Interview With Father Edward Burns
WASHINGTON, D.C., DEC. 15, 2005 (
Zenit.org).- A new program designed to promote vocations to the priesthood has proven to be a particular help – to priests themselves, says its executive director.
Father Edward Burns is the executive director for the Secretariat for Vocations and Priestly Formation at the U.S. bishops’ conference. He was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Pittsburgh in 1983.
He shared with ZENIT his perspective on a national vocational campaign to attract young men to the priesthood, called “Fishers of Men.”
