Do priests in a diocese have to be parish priests?
There are a variety of ministries where priests in our diocese serve. Yes, most do serve in parishes, some as pastors, others as parochial vicars. Other priests serve as chaplains in hospitals, or work in schools. Some work in prisons or are involved in the administration of our diocese. Some work with the young, others with the elderly. There are many ways to serve God as a priest (some I’m sure have yet to be discovered).
