Priesthood Discernment Group

ver en español   larger font

Adult Catholic men between the ages of 17-48 discerning a possible call to Priesthood are invited to the Priesthood Discernment Group meetings held on the third Saturday of each month. If you are just beginning to contemplate a vocation or are more serious about a call to priesthood please consider attending this group. The Priesthood Discernment Group provides a fraternal environment in which to discuss your discernment of a possible call to Priesthood with other men who are also examining the call. The group discusses issues central to the call and does so within the context of prayer, presentations, and discussion.

If you think that this group may be for you, please call Fr. Ned Shlesinger at (919) 832-6279 or e-mail him at shlesinger@raldioc.org.
