The Story Behind the Shirt
The Catechism calls the home "the first school of Christian life." By Baptism every Christian shares in Christ's priesthood and in His prophetic and royal mission: priest, prophet, king. Not holy orders, but the common priesthood of all believers, which a father, a mother and their children exercise at home "in a privileged way," through prayer and a holy life. It starts with a father on his knees, where his son can see him.
On the back: "PRIEST OF THE HOME" over a father kneeling with his son in prayer at a home altar — hand on the boy's shoulder, crucifix, candle and open Bible before them, fire in the hearth behind — with "PRIEST · PROPHET · KING" below. On the chest: the original 1765 A Co. mark in our founder's own hand.
