Friday, July 1st, 2011 marks the Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus – a feast
that since 2002 has also been the World Day of Prayer for Priests. The founder and
president of the Christopher Inn International, Joan Johnson was recently in Rome
to present the CI International project, which is for a completely lay-funded and
operated house of retreat and ongoing formation for Catholic clergy from throughout
the world. Chris Altieri asked Joan to share her thoughts about why it is important
for laity to support priests with prayer.
