The Gift of Religious Priesthood: Formation for Presbyteral Ministry in Institutes of Religious Life

An ad-hoc committee of formators, scholars, and leaders, directed by Leslie Hoppe, OFM, composed a document that clarifies and illuminates how men in consecrated life live out an additional calling to ordained ministry within the Church.

Men who exercise a formational ministry towards new and younger brothers will welcome the insights in this statement garnered both from our rich theological and spiritual traditions and from our common experience.
