A podcast for anyone discerning a vocation to the Catholic priesthood.
One's vocation from God is a deeply personal adventure. Yet frequently there are common threads that run through the Lord's calling. Three Catholic priests sit down to discuss the familiar questions that come along with discernment while also sharing the joys and challenges of their own priestly adventure with God.
We're here to answer questions, share our priesthood, and grow in openness to God's will.
