The Priesthood

I chose this carrer to make it up to God for all the bad things I’ve done in life.

the job of a Priest is a difficult yet rewarding one.

Priests guide people spiritually and emotionally. The typical day of a priest

with morning mass, then prayer, and finally other activities such as personal

counsiling or confession. A priest may also visit a hospital to comfort the sick or

perform at a wedding or a funeral. Priests work mostly in their respective parishes,

which, depending on your location, will usually be a neat and clean place. A priest

the field may be working in very unpleasant conditions depending on where he is

placed.

Training for priesthood usually begins in the college years, but some high

schools offer programs in preisthood training. A priest must spend 8-10 years

studying after high school. A priest must have to have a good background in bible

studies, English, general science, psycology, theology, and may be reqired to know

at least one forigen language (usually Spanish).

For all the work it takes, priests make very little money. A priest will usually

about $9000 dollars a year. On the other hand, priests recieve free living space, free

food, and in most cases a car. To be a priest I think you must be very dedicated to

religion and want to sacrifice to help people.
