Diocesan priests

A diocesan priest is a Roman Catholic priest who commits himself to a certain geographical area, and is ordained into this service of God's people within a diocese. This includes serving the everyday needs of the people in parishes, but their activities are not limited to that of their parish. Diocesan priests may serve in a myriad of different capacities, these services include, but are not limited to, campus ministry, teaching, and chaplain work for hospitals or prisons. They are expected to address the needs of those that they serve.
