Is the Holy Spirit inviting you to a Paulist Fathers priesthood?

Across the United States, the Paulist Fathers work to connect people to the Catholic faith and accompany those on the margins of society.

Your parents, family, and friends may react in different ways when you tell them, “I’m thinking of becoming a priest.”

The first step is to start a conversation and prayer.
