The Holy Father

best wishes for this commendable initiative

to provide spiritual support to

Priests in Ireland

and throughout the world

especially during this time dedicated to the

Year for Priests

I invoke the joy and strength of God's blessing upon all

associated with the

St Michael's Apostolate of Prayer for Priests
