Reflections on life, meaning and purpose

A Priest Who Almost Left Ministry

I have been ordained since 2015, and I personally know of nearly a dozen priests who have left ministry. They are priests from my diocese (five readily come to mind) and others whom I went to seminary with, either classmates or men ahead or behind me in formation. Priests leave for any number of reasons. The most tragic is when the priest has abused someone or there is an allegation.
