Hi! I’d like to inform you about a unique Web site dedicated to the Roman Catholic priesthood. It’s catholicpriest.me.uk , a site run BY teenagers FOR teenagers. Our Web site highlights stories from around the world of young men seriously considering entering the priesthood. We encourage new vocations by offering a resource and FAQ page, which address the common concerns teens have about growing a vocation. Our approach to vocations is just that: a process involving growth. Teens become more mature when they learn about a possible future for themselves, a future that may involve a fuller participation in the Church. That’s why we provide a page dedicated to Religious Orders and even a forum where individuals can discuss problems and help others with the Call. Most importantly, however, we encourage new vocations by inviting others to talk about their own. We regularly post vocation stories on an Our Stories section. As a Web site, we
receive 700 hits per day and welcome visitors from various countries. The site began as a small project between two teens considering the priesthood in December 2008. Although hosted in the UK, our Web site’s core team has members from the U.S., Canada, and other regions. Now it has blossomed into a site that’s ready to expand in the spirit of Pope Benedict XVI’s message on World Communications Day to “bear witness to your faith through the digital world! Employ these new technologies to make the Gospel known, so that the Good News of God’s infinite love for all people, will resound in new ways across our increasingly technological world!”
The Web site Catholic Culture says that our site “is attractive and a good place for young men considering the priesthood to visit.” We hope to spread our message that it’s ok for teens to consider their vocation to the priesthood by working with other Web sites or blogs dedicated to vocations or others. We’d like to ask you to, if possible, place a review of our site and offer our link as well. As teens, we have limited resources, but we will always trust in God to help us evangelize.
Thank you for taking the time to read our message and please feel free to contact me, the Press and Publicity Manager on the core team, at jeremy@catholicpriest.me.uk or prinzjeremydelacruz@yahoo.com
