Here I Am, Lord

A group for young adult men and women who wish to explore a calling to the religious life or priesthood.

Here I Am, Lord meets twice a month - first and mid Tuesdays @ 7:30pm, Newman House - for input, discussion, prayer and fellowship. Speakers are invited to some of the meetings, offering formation on themes such as discernment and discipleship, listening and knowing God's will, the evangelical counsels, the interior life, mission, commitment, freedom, self-gift, etc. The group also offers other opportunities for vocational discernment, such as spiritual direction, retreats, and visits to communities/the seminary.
