The house of discernment will provide an experience of prayer, Spiritual direction, and conversation about priestly life and ministry to  help men who are open to the call of God discern whether the Lord is calling them to enter Seminary and pursue the Ministerial Priesthood.  God’s gift to us of this amazing facility certainly gives us great assurance that He will also send us many men who will actively discern their call there and, with His grace, follow through to the Priesthood.
