The Vocation Office of the Archdiocese of Chicago is opening a House of Discernment at Holy Name Cathedral.  This House will be for young professionals and college seniors who would like to seriously discern their vocation to the priesthood while they continue to work or finish their college degree.  Candidates will have the opportunity to live in community, deepen their prayer life, and grow closer to Jesus Christ.  Through prayer, fraternity, and lived discipleship, young men will come to understand if God is calling them to the priesthood.  

Requirements:

-Catholic man between 20-35 years of age.

-Young professional or senior in college.

-Serious commitment to discerning the Diocesan Priesthood.

-Daily commitment to Mass and prayer.

-Commitment to meet regularly with a Spiritual Director.

-Commitment to refrain from dating for one year as you discern a vocation to the priesthood.

-Ability to live in community with others.

-Ability to pay monthly rent.
