Holy Orders

Are you possibly discerning the priesthood or religious life?

Jesus calls all people to the fullness of joy and love. Yet, to some he gives a deeper call to love by being completely and totally united to Christ through the priesthood, religious life, or consecrated virginity. 

If you are thinking about the priesthood, please explore the Diocese of Lansing vocations page: lansingpriest.org  For religious or diaconate vocations go to: dioceseoflansing.org/vocations
