Discernment
Discernment
Discernment is the process by which you discover God’s will. The process enables you to distinguish between movements coming from God and impulses that are not from God. Young adults discern a call to be single, married, priest or religious. Discernment also involves discovering a call to diocesan priesthood, or a particular religious community.

Spiritual Direction
Spiritual Direction: In order to grow in your spiritual life, it is recommended that you have a spiritual director. A spiritual director can help guide you in the discernment process. A spiritual director does not give advice, rather he or she listens, affirms and challenges. He or she gives feedback on what is shared about your relationship with God, with others, your work ministry and discernment.
