Fishers of Men is a film intended to renew priests’ sense of fulfillment in their vocation and to encourage them to draw on that satisfaction to invite other men to pursue the priesthood. The project was developed by the bishops’ Committee on Vocations.
The film, produced by Grassroots Films of Brooklyn, NY is a fast-paced video which shows many of the facets of a priest’s daily life.
Several priests provide testimony to the importance they place on their own vocation. A dramatic re-enactment portrays how a priest can inspire a vocation through his service to someone in need of priestly ministry.
The film is also intended to be used by priest in discussions with men considering the priesthood.
From the Secretariat for Vocations and Priestly Formation.
