Discovery Weekend
The Discovery Weekend is an interactive first step in the discernment process. The retreat is highly recommended and an opportunity to slow down to learn about vocation, spend time in dialogue with others in discernment and time in personal reflection about our vocation.

Ordination Process
God’s call to Holy Orders is different for everyone. It begins a discernment process which is often challenging and confusing. Discernment is in community. It turns a personal journey into a public one in which the call is assessed at a local level and diocesan level.
