A Priest provides spiritual leadership and support to a congregation or community. You might work in churches, chapels, or other places of worship. Priests focus on leading worship services, delivering sermons, and offering pastoral care and counselling. You’ll conduct religious ceremonies such as baptisms, weddings, and funerals, and engage with the community to support their spiritual and emotional needs.
Priests play a significant role in guiding and nurturing their congregation’s faith. You’ll need to be compassionate and articulate, with strong leadership and interpersonal skills. You’ll work closely with congregation members and other clergy to provide spiritual guidance, address community concerns, and foster a supportive and inclusive environment.
