Answer these questions in your heart:

• Do I hear God calling me?
• Do I have a desire to serve?
• Do I feel the Lord's presence  in the Eucharist?
• Do I have a capacity to love?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then God may be calling you to a life in the Priesthood. 

The journey to the Priesthood is a process that includes prayer and the help of many supportive people. The decision is something that is not completely made until the time for ordination draws near. In the meantime you gain an education that not only helps you to better understand the ways of the world, but most especially the ways of God's Kingdom.
