  • Inspired by prayer, and created as my first video, my hope is that through this "day in the life" film, you can see that seminary is an incredible place to be formed into a priest. There is no place like here to be transformed into a reflection of Christ Himself.
    Filmed at St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary in Boynton Beach, FL

    Hi to whoever’s reading this I’m fourteen and a catechumen in the Catholic Church with atheist parents, please pray for me as I finish my 2 year conversion this Easter Vigil! But please also pray for my parents that they return to Christs true church I even have a testimony, I wanted to become Jewish about 16 months into my conversion and I almost went through with it but every time I stepped into the synagogue I felt the urge to pray the Jesus Prayer, than I started getting dreams of the church and I knew I had to return, I went to my RCIC director but because I missed 3 lessons I would have to wait until 2025 (that’s not happening anymore) but with the help of the grace of God I got approved to be received this Easter Vigil and I’m so excited, Glory to God!!!

    I'm not a catholic.nor a good Christian ...but i actually respect a priest being single and childless....I think it gives them focus and not distracted by family obligations!!

      Although not the entire Catholic Church requires its clergy to be celibate (those of the Eastern Churches allow married clergy), it has been the tradition in the West to be celibate. This follows the Apostle Paul who said he preferred that they not marry like him. In a way, the celibacy of the clergy gives them a freedom that only the philosophers dreamed of: not having to deal with the matters of the domestic family, they can give their lives to study, prayer, and community.

      It is against the nature of humans to not experience intimacy with others. It is so ingrained in the human psyche that if denied, leads to many psychological concerns. Celibacy is problematic for most humans, even if they don’t realize it. Centuries of abuse, depression, alcoholism and shattered lives follow this Catholic idealism. This is one reason the Catholic Church is facing severe criticism from child abuse victims, the LGBT community, abused nuns, priests and societies at large. Catholic clergy has displayed astonishing ignorance of human sexuality and psychology for centuries. The number of lives damaged by bizarre sexual phobias, ignorance and the elevation of mandatory celibacy is incalculable.

      @@donaldbush1182You know most of the abuse that happened was by definition gay rape, because most persons that were abused were post pubescent boys. And in fact due to the opening of society to homosexuality, these persons don’t have to hide anymore in priesthood

    I’m sorry, I refuse to believe that the average day in the life of Mark Piendl doesn’t include at least pushups and a protein shake. At least the beast quenches his athletic thirst by surely scoring a hat trick in the seminarian soccer match.

    I guess it isn't great to generalize. Like I said sorry I have an eschewed view of what a priest is. Particularly having experienced a repressed abusive Catholic background. I was never a great athlete nor a leader. I think it's because I don't have leadership ability. My mind is always on relationships with women's. Because I had an absent father. So I tend to rationalize. I should study coaching. Every woman should. So they don't join the fraternity.
