Welcome to the vocations website hosted by the Emmanuel Community!
The Gospel tells us that Jesus, having his disciples around him, «called to him those whom he wanted...to be with him, and to be sent out to proclaim the message » (Mk 3: 14-14). Today Jesus looks again to the crowd of baptised youth and calls to him those that he wants. It's mysterious, Christ calls to him those whom he wants! So it is normal and honest for a young Christian to ask if Jesus calls him to serve as a priest. It is not always simple to answer this question:
First, it is not easy to speak about it.
Furthermore, we don't know who to speak to.
Finally, sometimes we don't kow how to approach the subject.
It is to help you move forward in your discernement that we have this site together. Here you will find:
- The names of priests specially formed and capable of welcoming you in regard to this subject in your region.
- A variety of proposals: events and retreats that the Emmanuel Community puts in place in France and Europe for young men who want to move forward in their discernment.
