Parishioners of Our Lady of Salvation Church in Dadar, Mumbai, western India, gathered on August 4 to honor and pray for their parish clergy during a special celebration marking the feast of St. John Mary Vianney, patron saint of parish priests.
Cardinal Jose F. Advincula, Archbishop of Manila, called on priests to embrace a ministry of presence, simplicity, and mercy, saying people burdened by poverty and daily struggles need "shepherds, not administrators."
