Answer these questions in your heart:
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.

Lord Jesus Christ,
Living Bread come down from heaven,
in Your name we ask the Father
to bless the Diocese of Baker
with vocations to the priesthood.
By the prompting of the Holy Spirit
call forth from among us
men who are able to sympathize
with our weakness
and deal gently with the wayward,
men who will give us confidence
to draw near to the font of Mercy
and find grace in time of need.
Send us priests
to bring comfort to the afflicted,
pardon to the sinner,
and peace to the dying;
priests to hand You over to us
in the Breaking of the Bread.
High Priest
of the New and Eternal Covenant,
we place our trust in You.
To You be glory and praise forever.
Amen.
Composed by Bishop Liam Cary
