Reason for Applying: To discern the will of God for me and to see if He was calling me to serve Him and His People as a diocesan priest.

 

What does the priesthood mean to you: Jesus has called each of us to serve Him and to assist Him in building up His Body, the Church. The priesthood to me is simply what it is to Jesus: the call to be a spiritual father to His disciples, to preach the Gospel to them and to bring them the sacraments. What a joy it is to be called to serve Jesus and His Church in this way!
