The first World Priest Day began on the third Sunday in September 2000. The event grew from an idea in September of 1998, when the Worldwide Marriage Encounter (ME) community in the Diocese of Knoxville, TN, decided to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the diocese by honoring all priests. The bishop & priests were so appreciative that the leaders of the local ME community shared the idea with the leaders of other communities in the Southeastern US, with several communities adopting the concept in 1999.
In 2003 WWME reached out to the church and invited other lay groups to join in the celebration of affirming the men who faithfully serve as our beloved priests. In June of 2006, WWME changed the day of World Priest Day to the 4th Sunday in October to coincide with the Serra Club's celebration of Priesthood Sunday, effective in 2007.
World Priest Day is now celebrated concurrently with Serra Club's Priesthood Sunday. Learn more about Priesthood Sunday at serraus.org and find a Serra Club near you.
