Many people feel that the priesthood is something that "just happens" to only a "special breed" of people. As a result, they might feel uncomfortable in expressing personal interest in this vocation.

Our goal is to normalize and demystify the discernment process, so that men can openly discuss their thoughts and considerations.

The Inspired Vocation Experience shows in detail the five step process that all priests have gone through in their journey to the seminary. It simply starts with the desire to serve others.

We encourage those who are open to the priesthood to participate in our monthly gatherings. These meetings are not designed to recruit you, rather, they are to help you discern and understand what God's will is for your life.

Meetings will be held at St. Monica's Catholic Church, 725 California Ave. Santa Monica, CA on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.
