31-Nov 2 -- St. Meinrad “Thinking of Priesthood Days”
- Over the years, we’ve found that there are a lot of myths and misconceptions that surround a priestly vocation. The questions you have are probably not unique. These questions are asked all the time! What really happens when someone goes to seminary? How long does it take to become a priest? What else takes place at a seminary beside classes and prayer? How does somebody know if god is calling? How does one become holy enough to be a priest? Why is celibacy part of the vocation?
- This program is available to single men, aged 18 – 40, who are open to listening to how God is speaking to them. It is presented by Saint Meinrad School of Theology in Indiana. Join your peers in learning more about the life as a priest.
- To register: Contact Fr. Eric Johnson; Director of Vocations; 1400 N. Meridian Street; Indianapolis, IN 46206; 317-236-1496
