In the first Life to the Full talk, Fr Greg Morgan presents the truth of the Priesthood: The reality that all priests are sinners and far from perfect; the immense sacrifice of life for the absolute service of others; the immeasurable privilege of being in the person of Christ through Sacraments and to hold God in his hands through the Eucharist; and the scandal to the world of the counter-cultural life of a priest.
Fr Franco Cavarra enjoyed a successful career as an international stage director until he received his calling.

Archbishop Chaput presents the vocation and mission of the priesthood, in particular how our current challenges mirror those of the early Church, and how our priests need to find the courage that existed in the priests of the young Church.
