The world in which you were ordained is no longer the world you minister in today. You are now faced with a culture that increasingly stands in opposition to the Church and the fullness of Her truth, with a flock that often does not know the voice of the Shepherd.
Eius is designed to profoundly renew your priesthood, offering priests who participate the gift of confident and capable leadership, a deep and enduring sense of priestly identity, and a brotherhood marked by lifelong growth and support.
