WICHITA, Kan., Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of Pope Benedict XVI's declaration of the "Year of the Priest," Fireside Catholic Publishing will be giving away a free trip to Rome for a U.S. priest and his guest.

The grand prize is two round-trip airline tickets to Rome, two hotel rooms in the Rome Metropolitan area for seven nights and daily meal allowance. The winner will be announced no later than April 8, 2010.

"The importance of priests in the spiritual growth of Catholics worldwide, and the continued strength of the Church as a whole cannot be understated," said Ross DeVore, President of Fireside Catholic Publishing. "This is our small way of saying thank you for all that you do for so many."

Any priest who purchases a Fireside Catholic Publishing product between Sept. 1, 2009 and March 31, 2010 is automatically entered into the drawing. Priests can also enter without making a purchase by mailing a 3" x 5" index card with their name, address, phone and signature to Fireside Catholic Publishing before the March 31, 2010 deadline.

Eligibility is restricted to Catholic priests at a parish or diocese in the United States of America, and only one entry per priest is allowed.

More information and a list of official rules can be found at firesidecatholic.com.

Fireside Catholic Publishing has been a leader in providing high quality Catholic Bibles to families, schools and parishes since 1970.
