Catholic Diocese Of Joliet

Bishop Conlon talks about Vatican II Council's Decree on the Ministry and Life of Priests -- in Latin it is called "Presbyterorum Ordinis" -- and how priests represent Christ, especially through the administration of the sacraments (especially the Eucharist). So it is in these ways that the priests are made sharers of Christ's priesthood, while also helping people to have an impact on the world by connecting the sacramental life of the Church to daily life.
