Attending an ordination is a beautiful way to give thanks to God for the priesthood and to pray for those to be ordained.

It is also a powerful opportunity to discern your own vocation.

This year, The Call is taking place at the transitional diaconate ordination. Before being ordained to the priesthood, every priest is ordained a transitional deacon. And it is there that the man first responds to God’s call in a definitive way – promising obedience, celibacy, and prayer.

Join Fr. Greg Gerhart before and after the ordination to learn about the priesthood by reflecting on the promises that the priest first makes as a deacon. You’ll also enjoy breakfast, lunch, get a saved spot at the ordination Mass, and hear from our seminarians. This event is open to single men, ages 14-49, and it is free – just sign up below!
