Steps to Discernment
Stay Close to the Sacraments
Participate in Mass
every Sunday, on
holy days of obligation and daily when your schedule permits.
Make frequent confession, once a month or
even more often.
Not yet confirmed? Do it!
Get A Spiritual Director
Ask a priest to meet
with you once a month
for 30 to 60 minutes
for confession and to discuss your spiritual life. Tell
him you're considering priesthood.
Pray Every Day
Develop a daily prayer
routine with your
spiritual director.
Pray for God to
give you not only knowledge of what He wants you to do but
the courage
to do it.
Serve
Your Parish
Seek opportunities
to get involved
in parish life.
Choose one parish
and register - don't float from parish to parish.
If you
do these
things and
still think you might
have a vocation,
it's probably time
to contact
