In Indonesia we also have several Catholic Priests who are also working as engineer beside taking care of pastoral ministry. They are absolutely engineer with bachelor, master and even in doctoral degree who are also teaching in university. They put the paradigm of Catholic Priest also contribute in our educational and national development.
For many are called, but few are chosen.....and very few stays, for only those who remains faithful to his mission and utmost respect & love for the Church remains. May the Lord continue to guide you and all those in similar vocation always as there is a constant war going on losing one's soul.
Congratulations Father. May God bless and protect you in your vocation. Please pray for us and for all those who are interested in joining the priesthood and religious.
All the best in your ministry Fr. Steven. Go feed his sheep and minister to their spiritual needs. I pray that you be truthful to your priestly vows and be a holy priest too. 🙏

Actually, prior to Vatican II Council, receiving the Holy Eucharist on hands would ne sacrilergious and it should have been the same today. Only the ordained hands of the priest can handle the Communion.
No one is perfect, take all the disciples of Jesus, none of them was perfect but God made them perfect. If he calls just say amen like our Holy Mother. May god bless you dear.
Thank you for becoming a priest father. May the Holy Virgin Mary keep you ever faithful and bring you to your eternal reward, having run the good race.
Do not pass me by Lord ...in my own small insignificant ways be my guide too and give me the grace to live my purpose consistent with your divine Will. Thanks for the great inspiration Fr. Steve.
May God guide you in your journey. I am grateful to you for choosing to be a priest of God and dedicating your life to helping Catholics get to heaven.

He could have had a family sand become a priest if he were an Eastern Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or literally any other Christian denomination aside from the Roman Catholic Church.
"For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh. 6 Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. 7 They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away? 8 He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery. 10 His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry. 11 Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: *and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven.* He that can take, let him take it." Matthew 19:5-12 Amen.
Mt. 19:12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others--and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."
To become a Catholic priest first of all you need to become Catholic. Whatever the religious background is of that person before he became a Catholic Christian is not relevant.
Mattew 24:36 36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,+ neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. Mattew 23:8-10 8 But be not ye called teachers. for one is your Teacher, even Christ. 9 You are all brothers. And call no man father upon the earth. for one is Father, which is in heaven.10 And be not ye called masters. for one is your Master, even Christ...
Nice ceremony, but what after that? Is the priesthood really needed in our church? At what point in history did the memorial of Christ became a sacrifice that we need to offer to God? I know the importance of rituals, but when rituals dominate us, that is a big problem. A faith that does not question is dead.
A. LETTER TO TIMOTHY 2,5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus! Mattew 24:36 36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. Mattew 23:8-10 8 But be not ye called teachers. for one is your Teacher, even Christ. 9 You are all brothers. And call no man father (Spiritual)upon the earth. for one is Father, which is in heaven.10 And be not ye called masters. for one is your Master, even Christ.... “YOU must not let people call you ‘leaders’-you have only one leader, Christ!” (Matthew 23:10, The New Testament) With these words, Jesus made it plain to his followers that no man on earth would be their leader. Their one Leader would be heavenly-Jesus Christ himself. Jesus holds this position by divine appointment.. Jehovah “raised him up from the dead and . . . made him head over all things to the congregation, which is his body.”-Ephesians 1:20-23. 2 Since Christ is “head over all things” with regard to the Christian congregation, he exercises his authority over all that takes place within the congregation. Nothing that occurs within the congregation escapes his notice. He closely observes the spiritual condition of each group of Christians, or congregation. This is clearly apparent in the revelation given to the apostle John at the end of the first century C.E. To seven congregations, Jesus stated five times that he knew their deeds, their strong points, and their weaknesses, and he gave counsel and encouragement accordingly. (Revelation 2:2, 9, 13, 19; 3:1,8,15,17) There is every reason to believe that Christ was equally familiar with the spiritual condition of other congregations in Asia Minor, Palestine, Syria, Babylonia, Greece, Italy, and elsewhere. (Acts 1:8) What of today? ua-cam.com/video/Oo9ytCWBYSw/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/K98ziVX7AHo/v-deo.html

Our Lord calls those who are not perfect to manifest his glory.
No one is perfect, take all the disciples of Jesus, none of them was perfect but God made them perfect. If he calls just say amen like our Holy Mother. May god bless you dear.

He could have had a family sand become a priest if he were an Eastern Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or literally any other Christian denomination aside from the Roman Catholic Church.
that just ain't it
his family is his parish and as someone who goes there I can say that he is amazing
What is with a priest that it takes 6 years to become one? Damn....🤯🤯 (mind blowing)
They have to study Theology for 4 years then serve in parishes as deacons ( kinda like an intern)
That's the Key " THE EUCHARIST"!
U will have good friends like bishop mulakul and nuns

What is the security of those who want to join from Hindus or Muslims?

Long after you get the call from Jesus, God will make you encounter a lot of young people. DON'T FUCK THEM!

It's utterly ridiculous that you Can't be married and serve God simultaneously ----probably better with the support of a spouse
Praying god by anymeans is awesome but hinduism is the only releigon I found scientific.
not a dime from me will you get.
I'm pretty sure the church doesn't need your dime. Go give it to Joel Osteen.
Who gives a damn about your dime. May you be blessed in your own way.

Better to be a priest can enjoy life with best of food and other stuffs just by telling the message of God which is full of bullshit
