Diocese of Covington at 402 E. 21st Street, Covington, KY 41014 US - Home
Welcome to The Diocese of Covington
My dear Friends in Christ:
Our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI declared a special Year of the Priest that will last from June 19, 2009, the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, until June 19, 2010. This Year of the Priest coincides with the 150th anniversary of the death of St. John Mary Vianney, Patron of Priests.
In a communication from the Congregation for the Clergy we are reminded that this "Year of the Priest represents an important opportunity to contemplate once more and with grateful awe the work of the Lord who willed to institute the ministerial Priesthood, linking it inseparably to the Eucharist, the source and summit of life for the whole Church. It will therefore be a year during which we can discover anew the beauty and importance of the Priesthood and of each priest, making the entire holy people of God attentive to this: men and women religious, Christian families, those who suffer and, above all, the young who are so eager for great ideals that are lived with genuine enthusiasm and constant fidelity."
Especially during this Year of the Priest I ask that you pray daily for our priests who serve the Lord so very well. We will be providing you with a prayer for priests that we will use during this year.
Be assured always of my love and devotion and of my prayers. Please pray for me.
Yours devotedly in the Lord,
Most Reverend Roger J. Foys, D. D.
Bishop of Covington
