Pope Benedict XVI has declared a special year for Priests beginning June 19, 2009, which also coincides with the 150th death anniversary of St. Jean Marie Vianey, Cure of Ars, considered Patron of Priests, a true example of a pastor at the service of Christ's Flock.

During this special year for Priests, a "Directory for Confessors and Spiritual Directors" will be published, together with a collection of advice from the Holy Father on the essential aspects in the life and mission of priests in our time.

The Holy Pontiff will close the Year for Priests on June 19, 2010 with a "World Meeting of Priests" at St. Peter's Square.
