ABOUT PRIESTFIT
The Story
Fr Ryan Rooney and Fr Casey Jones launched Priestfit on January 1, 2017. Together they created a social media based network of Catholic priests who support each other while witnessing to others who struggle in the areas of health and fitness. The mission of Priestfit is to continue this forum of support, to share our stories and knowledge, and to advocate for a healthier Presbyterate in the Catholic Church.

"Command that these two sons of mine sit,
one at your right and the other at your left, in your kingdom.”
