What is it like to be a priest?

What is it like to be a priest? If you would like to spend a year seeing how priests live, and assisting them in day-to-day parish life, then in September 2009 places will become available at the House of Formation for Lancaster Diocese.

For those interested in the priesthood who are accepted at the House, it provides an ideal environment for you to discern your vocation and for the Church to discern it too. Through the months spent at St Mary's, Cleator you will be guided in your own spiritual, human, pastoral and intellectual formation.

Since the House was established in 2003 by Bishop Patrick O'Donoghue, those who have participated in the programme have found it fulfilling in itself and a solid grounding for their next steps.

Are you interested? Contact Fr Manny Gribben at e.gribben@merseymail.com
