FREE DISCERNMENT RESOURCES
For men of all ages discerning a call to the priesthood and religious life
Every good, young, practicing Catholic man who loves Jesus Christ and His Church should spend some time discerning priesthood.
The Melchizedek Project is a discernment group for men, in high school, college or older who love Jesus Christ and His Church and who are willing to talk with other like-minded men about their futures. The group uses as a guide Father Brett Brannen’s inspiring book “To Save a Thousand Souls: A Guide for Discerning a Vocation to Diocesan Priesthood.”
We meet from 6:30-8:00 p.m. every other week.
To register for the next meeting, or to request additional information, contact Father Michael Ammer at [email protected] or visit the St. Jude website.
We’d like to send you the two most comprehensive and inspiring books ever written for men considering the priesthood, absolutely FREE! To take advantage of this offer, simply fill out this form.
