Church Launches Priesthood Recruitment Drive

Christian Today
The Catholic Church in the west of England has launched a recruitment drive in a bid to boost the numbers entering into the priesthood.

A series of promotional posters and other material will accompany the recruitment campaign featuring a young 25-year-old Bristol man who is being ordained as a priest this year, TheGoodNews reports.

The campaign will be overseen by Fr Robert King, vocations director for the Clifton Diocese, and will also feature material that describes life in the priesthood as “real active service”.

"The posters and leaflets, by graphic designer and local parishioner Catherine Roperto, reflect the stages of a man pondering and considering a vocation through to the brightness of his eyes as he offers himself for service as a priest,” said Fr King.
