Purposeful Life

Is God Calling You to a More Purposeful Life?

Do you...

• have a desire to pray?
• talk about God in your life?
• desire to help people know God’s love?
• enjoy life, people, and have a good sense of humor?
• participate as an active member of a parish?
• form and maintain healthy relationships with both men and women?
• have good physical, mental, and emotional health?
• have other people suggesting to you that you would make a good priest?
• ever think about the priesthood?

  Is this you?

If you can answer “yes” to some of these questions, you should:

• Keep an open mind to the possibility of priesthood.
• Talk about it with a few trusted friends.
• Discuss it with your pastor and other priests whom you know.
• Pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
• Contact the Archdiocese of Dubuque - Office of Vocations.

Office of Vocation Awareness

Since you are visiting this web site, you are probably making prayerful consideration to a change in your life. At the Office of Vocation Awareness, it is our goal to help young, Catholic men by providing an online resource that will help you discover whether this decision could be right for you. 

The response to God’s invitation gives shape to our lives and is expressed in our vocation. The Office of Vocation Awareness is available to assist men contemplating a vocation to diocesan priesthood, guiding them through the many questions that arise as they consider the commitment to priestly service.
