What Does CITI mean?
|
|
"Celibacy Is the Issue" is the original name of the organization.
Founded in 1992, CITI (Celibacy Is the Issue) Ministries is a lay
organization that locates, recruits, certifies and promotes married
Roman Catholic priests to fill the spiritual needs of the faithful. 21
Canons validate the ministry of married priests.
Jesus never turned anyone away. Married priests offer that tradition
in their ministry, so if you’ve been turned away, we can help. Visit
God's Yellow Pages (Priests' Directory) or click your State below to
locate a Married Catholic Priest near you.

As a resigned, married Catholic priest with two children, it seems that my sacerdotal status remains undiminished in my sprawling, extended Irish Catholic family. Kieran's request turned out to be my summons to step back into official duties. Fifteen years had passed since I resigned from the priesthood and my religious community, the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity, who remain my brothers and friends.
