Test to Help With Discernment

Test to Help with Discernment

How do you know if you are being called to serve God as a priest or religious? Take this “vocations anonymous test” to find out! Answer “yes” or “no” to the following questions:

Does the idea of becoming a priest or religious keep coming back time and time again even though you thought you had moved on in your life and forgotten about it?
Do you feel called to give more, to be more?
Does your relationship with God sustain you, enliven you, invigorate you in such a way that you want to share the Good News with others?
Do you find your weekly ministry more live-giving and energizing that your 40 to 60 hour work week?
Do you long for “MORE?”
Do you have a sneaking suspicion that you are on the brink of a major life decision?
Are you afraid to tell friends and family that you are thinking about a Church vocation?
Does the idea of becoming a priest or religious excite you and at the same time frighten you because you feel “unworthy?”

If you answered “yes” to two or more of these questions, contact the Vocations Office.
