To participate in the International Meeting of Priests registration must be completed and a small fee must be paid that will provide the participating priests with all of the necessary material and information, as well as the "Vatican and Rome Card." This card will allow the participating priest to freely access all of Rome's public transportation (metro, bus, Rome-Ostia train line) system, and the meeting points of the Open Bus Roma Cristiana. In addition, translation services will be offered in the principal languages (Italian, French, English, Spanish, German and Portuguese) as well as technical support, medical assistance, and insurance for the entire period of the meeting. To help sustain the clergy and pastoral activities, as they work to rediscover and/or increase the value of their mission in spreading the message of Jesus Christ, a priest an help others in difficulty participate in the meeting through the act of solidarity. The priests who wish to participate and register for the meeting, should refer to the Secretary, who is based in Rome: a.sacerdotalis@orpnet.org. The Secretary is responsible for gathering and organizing the Registration of the International Meeting of Priests.
