Be to Me a Priest and A Father

University Catholics are excited to host this event with international guest speaker Fr Carter Griffin from the U.S. who will be speaking on the topic of priesthood, celibacy and how we can support our priests in living out their spiritual fatherhood.

He is the author of the book Why Celibacy: Reclaiming the Fatherhood of the Priest.
