What is a Diocesan Priest PDF Print E-mail

These are priests who join a diocese or archdiocese. They have lifelong commitments to celibacy and obedience to their Bishop. Generally they minister within the geographic confines of their (arch)diocese. They have the primary responsibility of meeting the religious needs of the Catholics in their diocese. Generally, but not always, this means parish ministry.
