Vocations Discernment Community for Men

A year of vocational discernment living within a religious community

The purpose: is to give men, aged 20-36 years, a year (September – July) where they can learn about priesthood and the various forms of religious life, and come to some conclusion about where God may be calling them. It is for men who are aware of God’s calling but are not sure how specifically to respond, or who need some time for personal or academic development.
