Considering a religious vocation?

For young adults considering a priestly or religious vocation, here is a short list of resources gathered by Andy Miller, associate director of vocations for the archdiocese.
 

• Discerning the Will of God by Timothy M. Gallagher. “A general book that’s good for all Catholics who are asking basic discernment questions,” Miller notes.

• Lord Teach Us to Pray by Father Jeffery Kirby. “This resource is about developing a prayer life, which is foundational to all Christian life.”

• To Save a Thousand Souls by Father Brett A. Brannen. “Great resource to be used in a group or for individual discernment.”

• HearGodsCall.com. “The archdiocesan vocation office’s website is a great local resource. One can find information about events, spiritual direction, religious communities and seminaries—really all aspects of discernment.”  

• DiocesanPriest.com. “The website for the National Conference of Diocesan Vocation Directors. Created to be a one-stop shop for diocesan priesthood discernment. Great links to books, Church documents and other resources.” †
