When Jesus launched his movement for a civilization of love in the heart of the world, he realized that he needed chiefs, leaders. Even today, that movement that we call the "Church"needs men,who, like in the time of Jesus, will accept to serve as leaders...We call them "priests".

Do you have what it takes to become a chief, a leader?
Have you a vision of what the world should be, a world of justice, of joy and
of peace?
Do you believe that there are things to change in our world, that we have to transform it according to the Spirit of Christ?
Do you enjoy working with others, to help them to grow, to become more alive, more loving?
Would you like to walk in Jesus' steps,
to love like him, to give your utmost to the very last just as He did?
Would you want, as Jesus did, to accompany people in their
times of suffering and trials so as to remind them of their dignity and fundamental worth?
Do you see yourself as leading a community
in prayer, in faith and in sharing?
If your answer is "yes" to some of these questions, you have many of the qualities required
to become the kind of leader that the Church needs today. If you wish to pursue your reflection on the priesthood or on religious
life, please contact myself or our Diocesan Vocations Director, Father Kevin Maloney.
If the Lord calls you, you can be sure
that He is calling you to happiness.
