Discernment Weekend 2024
Is God Calling Me? Maybe you’ve asked yourself this question before, or maybe not. Either way, the Catholic Corps men and women invite you to spend a weekend learning and praying about the call to a celibate vocation. A celibate vocation includes: priesthood, consecrated life, religious life, and consecration of life. This event is for any practicing Catholic (ages 18-35) who is open to or discerning the call to a celibate vocation. Both men and women are welcome. During the weekend, Mass and talks will be in common. Prayer times, meals, and recreation will be separate.
