Hear the Call?

Discernment is a process of listening and attentiveness to God's call, wherever that might lead. Discerning a call to the priesthood is often a long process, and is rarely an easy decision. It is a process that is best supported by a rich life of prayer, and fostered through consultation and guidance by trusted advisors such as priests, spiritual directors, and chaplains.

On this website you will find prayers and reflections to use in this listening process. A serious commitment to prayer is essential to this process, as is taking time out from daily life for reflection on one's goals and life path. Those who are interested in pursuing this call further are encouraged to contact the Director of Vocations, Fr. Hansoo Park, either by telephone at 416-968-0997, or by email.
