Bishop Tobin on the Decreasing Number of Priests

“I was going to entitle this article “The Mysterious Case of the Disappearing Priests,” but you don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out what’s happening to the number of priests in the Diocese of Providence.

“It’s pretty simple: We have significantly fewer priests to serve the spiritual and pastoral needs of the Diocese than we had just a few years ago.”

In a recent commentary, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, of the Diocese of Providence (RI), reflected on the decreasing number of priests available to serve this diocese.
