There are many communities of religious brothers.  Some have all brothers in the community; others have brothers and priests.  All have a gradual incorporation period during which a man learns about the life and prepares for his form of service.  A candidate can expect college or technical training and one year of theological and religious life study.  While exploring various  groups, a man would notice that each has its particular style, personality, and service emphasis.

 

All vocations are unique, special, and necessary for the Church.  Each comes with specific graces to help the vocation to excel in holiness for the greater honor and glory of God.

It is important to remember that each person's vocation is pre-planned by God for the best happy ending. He knows what vocation each person will chose before it is chosen, and He is always looking out for the needs of His Church.

We invite you to pray and to open your mind and heart to God's calling. As you discern your vocation as a male, there are several options available to you. Please take some time to explore these options by clicking on the links below.
