Why did the Year for Priests start on June 19, 2009, and not at the start of the new liturgical year on the First Sunday of Advent in 2009?
 
June 19, 2009, was the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and thus considered an appropriate feast on which to inaugurate a Year for those men who have consecrated their lives to Christ and act in Persona Christi (“in the Person of Christ”).
