The Priesthood

By Wilhelm Stockums

In the 1974 Foreword, Fr. John M. Dougherty, S.S. says it contains "the most inspiring, eloquent, and convincing pages I have ever read on this most exalted of all vocations. The book is a masterpiece, and if I were a bishop I would see to it that a copy of it were in the hands of each of my priests. And if I were a seminary rector, I would do all I could to place a copy in the hands of every member of my faculty and of each of my students."
