Discernment Process

I If you think you are ready to enter into the discernment process, the following steps will be helpful:

Prayer - Develop a deep union with God through prayer. The rosary, daily Mass, frequent Eucharistic adoration and scripture reading are great means for discovering God's will for you.

Spiritual Direction - Regular and honest discussion of your life with a priest will enable you to understand where God is leading you. Confide in a trusted priest about your deepest questions and concerns.

Gathering Information - Seek out happy priests and seminarians. Ask them for their stories and experiences.

Experience - Contact the Vocation Director to be introduced to discernment, seminary life, and the priesthood.

Only Charity will save the World”.
