What Is Your Purpose?
Do you know a young man or boy who shows a heart for service, compassion, and faith? He may be
called to the priesthood!
What is your purpose?
The world tells us to chase happiness, success, and attentionโbut those things do not always last. Some young men are called to something greater: to serve God and His people through the priesthood.
A priest is called to lead, to heal, to walk with others in their greatest joys and hardest moments, and to give his life in service to others.
You were made for a life that matters.
He calls you by name.
