Children of Catholic Priests

This site is dedicated to the tens of thousands of lives affected by the fatherhood of  Catholic Priests.  The life of the child and mother are profoundly changed by coming into this secret, often denied subculture of the Roman Catholic faith.  

There are numerous accounts of priests leaving the priesthood after fathering a child.  Many of these men married their wives and have completed the familial bond.  Countless others remained in the preisthood.  Some denying their parental responsibilities, and others living a life of duality... serving the church and attempting a familial life in secrecy.

Being the adult child of a practicing Catholic Priest, I began this website to begin a dialogue about our experience, our mothers' experience, and if possible the thoughts of Catholic Priests, both practicing and non practicing on fatherhood.
