Discernment

As a Pallottine Father or Brother you will be
called to sacrifice the need for personal power and possessions,
the option of marriage and other choices. Life
in the Pallottine Community is fulfilled through each member’s unique
contribution in furthering the Church’s mission to renew faith and
rekindle love. Discerning your call to become a Pallottine
requires prayer and reflection. Walking with God allows you to better
understand how the Lord is working in your life. Personal prayer offers
strong support in any major life defining decision. Seek the prayerful
support of family and friends as a component in your decision. Listen
and you will hear what God has planned for you.
Spiritual direction is also a powerful means of
discerning the Lord’s call in your life. A spiritual director will help
you better understand where God is leading you and encourage you to live
a deeper spiritual life faithfully responding to the Lord.
We offer
discernment retreats and other programs designed to assist you in your
vocational decision. These programs help you focus on your feelings and
assist you in determining whether your desires are genuine and
realistic.
