All priest applicants must provide a video of the applicant celebrating the Liturgy of the Word at a weekday or Sunday Mass that includes a homily of at least five minutes in length.  Please make sure you submit the video in a file format that is compatible with Microsoft products (such as .wmv, .mp4).

(Rev. 18 March 2015) Effective immediately all international priests must comply with additional English language requirements. International priests are those priests who were trained and ordained for a diocese or religious order outside of the United States, including U.S territories. Additionally, if the priest’s seminary training was in the United States but English is his second language, the priest may be required on a case by case basis to comply with the additional requirements. See International Priest link below for the requirements.
