But there are some duties which needs to be fulfilled by them. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, there are two sides to the priesthood: offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and forgiving sins. Among the duties of a Catholic priest are the celebration of the Eucharist as a presider in persona Christi or as a concelebrant if required. Priests are also responsible for daily recitation of the principal and minor offices of the Liturgy of the Hours. Catholic priests are the only ministers of the Sacrament of Penance and Anointing of the Sick.

Why does a priest wear an alb?
"As regards the use of the alb, the practice has varied from age to age. Until the middle of the twelfth century the alb was thevestment which all clerics wore when exercising their functions, and Rupert of Deutz mentions that, on great festivals, both in his own monastery and at Cluny, not only those who officiated in the sanctuary, but all the monks in their stalls wore albs. The alb was also worn at this period in all religious functions, e.g. in taking Communion to the sick, or when assisting at a synod. Since the twelfth century, however, the cotta or surplice has gradually been substituted for the alb in the case of all clerics savethose in greater orders, i.e. subdeacon, deacon, priest, and bishop. At present the alb is little used outside the time of Mass. At all other functions it is permissible for priests to wear a surplice."

What qualifications do you have to have to be a priest?
Before then, every priest has a vocation to be a seminarian. If you are genuinely being called by God, then you will find out for sure in the seminary. In the meantime, you will learn to pray, you will be educated in Moral Theology, Systematic Theology, Church History, how to administer the sacraments, etc. It usually takes six to eight years. If you have a college education AND thirty credit hours in Catholic Philosophy, the bishop *might* let you do it in five years. Usually, there is four years of Philosophy followed by four years of Theology.
To enter the seminary, one must have completely High School (normally, there are minor seminaries that start after eighth grade), be single, be a practicing Catholic for at least one year and have no major impediments (Impediments would be anything from being already validly married, being currently active sexual, having an active homosexual lifestyle, etc.)
To explore whether you might have a possible vocation, talk to your parish priest and tell him about your thoughts, and your current involvement in your parish (you attend Mass regularly, etc.) He will direct you from there.
AnswerNormally, a man must be reasonably intelligent, unmarried, and in reasonable health. He must be a practicing Catholic who frequents the Sacraments of Confession and the Eucharist.

Most require that the man be under 40, although that varies. Finally, he must have the recommendation from his pastor, and be a Catholic for at least one year, if not more. If the pastor approves, then you are sent to the Diocesian Vocations Director, who will interview, ask for various paperwork, baptismal certificate, and a mental health test. AnswerTo become a priest, one must have completed, at a minimum, six years of seminary training: two years of philosophy, and four years of theology. One must be a baptized male in good standing with the Church, and have completed his twenty-fifth year, and promise perpetual celibacy.
