ROME, APRIL 27, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Three lay Catholic movements are joining together to host an afternoon for priests in the context of the official closing ceremonies of the Year for Priests, scheduled for June in the Vatican.
Focolare, Schonstatt and the International Catholic Charismatic Renewal, with other ecclesial associations, are organizing "Priests Today." It will be held June 9 in Paul VI Hall, the same day that the official closing ceremonies will begin.
Cardinal Cláudio Hummes, prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy, will preside over vespers, which will bring the movements' afternoon to a close.
Cardinal Francisco Javier Errázuriz, archbishop of Santiago, Chile, will give a theological testimony.
Others who will participate include a priest from Ireland, who will explain his personal experience of fidelity to God's call; survivors from Burundi of an assault on the minor seminary of Buta; and a priest from Germany who overcame alcoholism with the help of his community.
