It is a day to reflect upon and affirm the role of the priesthood in the life of the Church as a central one.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of the clergy sex abuse scandal, there has been concern that the image of all priests has been tainted by the actions of a few. Priesthood Sunday sends a message to all that the sins of a few do not reflect the innocent majority, and that the parish priest, as the instrument of Christ&#8217;s ministry on earth, is loved and respected by those in the parish community.<\/p>\n<p>This nationwide event is coordinated by the USA Council of Serra International.
