Priests should thrive, not just survive.
Many priests live on survival mode — caring for everyone else’s needs at the expense of their own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. While part of being a shepherd is “laying down one’s life so others might live,” carrying this out to the neglect of a priest’s own self-care over decades of ministry is not sustainable, and is ultimately to the detriment not only of the priest but also his flock.
Priests Thriving Not Surviving, Inc. is dedicated to encouraging and empowering priests to practice good self-care in all areas of life so they can not just survive life feeling burned out, but thrive in their ministries and priesthood.
