What is it?
The Monthly Prayer Request for Priests was begun in 1990 in Lewiston Maine. Over 72 dioceses now participate in this prayer activity on the behalf of priests. The goal is that over a five year period, each of the priests in the Archdiocese of Boston is assigned a day for prayers on his behalf. The names are taken from the Boston Catholic Directory and also include Pope Benedict XVI.

Amen
