If you would like further information on our way of living the Gospel of Jesus, please take a few minutes to complete the following discernment tool for yourself.
Do you have a desire to deepen your spiritual life?
Do you have the personality to easily mix with others?
Are you active in your parish community or are you involved in roles of volunteer service?
Do you have a spiritual mentor or spiritual director?
Are you willing to share your life with others who desire to live a religious life?
A call to the religious Brotherhood requires a celibate decision. Are you able to make a commitment to living a celibate lifestyle?
Do you possess the necessary requirements to live a religious life? (These include: Catholic unmarried men from the ages of 21 upwards, mentally and physically healthy, as well as spiritually, morally and socially fit, having completed high school.)
If you answered yes to these questions and would like more information we invite you to contact us today.
