	The Clergy were responsible for the important task of '''maintaining the relationship of Roman citizens with their gods'''. They attended to the temples, making sure they were clean, well-maintained, properly decorated to fit the chosen gods, and, most importantly, safe. They crafted altars to the gods, blessed homes, and helped any citizens who wanted to properly pray and worship. More than once, clergy members have also officiated weddings. They walked amongst the citizens and shared the will and grace of the gods, inspiring people to worship the gods at their own homes too. They offered their services to anyone who wanted help with making a shrine to the gods, conducting a ritual to praise them, or wanted to make proper offerings to the divine.

Not to mention, an official '''[[Prayer Guide]]''' has been prepared for the public by the College of Pontiffs, with simple prayers that citizens could use to communicate with the divine daily or in times of need.

	The '''Ludi Romanii''' was a publicly-held event, headed by '''Pontifex Populi [[Alba Verus Kaine]]''' for the faith of the Roman populace. At the event, there was opportunity for citizens to partake in public and group prayer, horse racing, merchant booths, and food and drink provided and funded by the other chief priests.
