Join the
Priesthood Discernment Group
What is the Discernment Group?
The
Discernment Group, sponsored by the
Joliet
Diocese Vocation Office, provides an opportunity for
men to gather monthly to:
1.
discuss issues concerning priestly life
and ministry,
2.
pray together for one another as vocations
are discerned, and
3.
provide
fellowship and support among those who are considering a call to
priesthood.
Participants
will have the opportunity to meet other men thinking about
priesthood and talk with several diocesan priests and
seminarians as they discuss important issues in making an
informed decision about their vocations.
Who Can Join the Discernment Group?
The
Discernment Group is open to men of 17 years of age and older who
want to meet informally once a month to discuss the possibility
of priestly life and ministry. New members are always welcome.
Are you considering a call to
priesthood? Would you like to know more about being a priest
today?
If you
answered "yes" to either of these questions, then the
Discernment Group is for you.
How Do I Join the Discernment Group?
To join
the Discernment Group, simply contact the vocation office via
e-mail or by calling the vocation office at (815) 834-4004.
Come and
see what the Discernment Group is all about.
If you have any
questions or would like more information on priestly life and
ministry,
please contact Fr.
