Priest Enrollment

Explanation

All Catholic Priests are invited to enroll in the Adpot-A-Priest program dedicated to Jesus the Eternal Priest. There is no obligation on the part of the member priest. It is your faithful commitment of priestly service that is greatly supported. The Daughters of Mary, Mother of Priests pledge to find sponsors for all enrolled priests.

This ministry is dedicated to Mary, Mother of Priests, asking her to make her maternal presence felt by all priests who share in Christ’s life and mission.

Enrollment

All Catholic Priests are welcome to enroll. Your membership is perpetual and you will be notified of each Spiritual Adoption.

Materials

Upon completion of your enrollment, you will be sent an email with the following information.

  • Welcome Letter

  • Priest’s Membership Card

  • Notification of Spiritual Adoption

  • Complimentary Subscription to the Prayer of the Week newsletter.

    • The newsletter is also sent to sponsors to help keep them active in their daily prayer commitments for priests and seminarians. Priests are welcome to receive copies of this newsletter and are free to unsubscribe at any time.

Anonymity

Your contact information as well as your identity is protected at all times; there is no contact between the priest and sponsor. The element of anonymity raises the sponsors’ gift of Spiritual Adoption to a sacrificial level where it can best support you in your life of priestly service. Only the priest’s first name and broad geographic region will be provided to the sponsor.

Occasionally priests will write in and ask if a message can be conveyed in gratitude to the sponsor—you may do so by sending an email to the Daughters of Mary, Mother of Priests.

“We cannot do without a spiritual motherhood for our priestly life…”
