Vocational discernment groups meet to assist young men who are considering the possibility that God may be calling them to a life of priestly ministry. These groups are designed to explore a priestly vocation with other like-minded men through prayer and sharing vocation stories and experiences. The group meetings aren't meant to convince anyone that the priesthood is their vocation. They are designed to assist you in discovering if the priesthood is your true vocation and build your relationship with Christ along the way.
If you are a faithful, single, Roman Catholic man, between the ages of 18 and 40, and are asking yourself whether God is calling you to be a priest, you are encouraged to attend the discernment meeting which will be held on September 28 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM at Saint Catherine Parish (215 Essex Avenue, Spring Lake, NJ 07762).
