How do I get in the way of being a Catholic priest?
I've been a sinner all my life, however I have always felt the call of God (no kidding) I know I have something for himself and I do not know what I've seen the idea of becoming a Catholic priest, but not Do not know where to start.
- Catholics?
- Who to complain when you think the Catholic priest was overstepping its limits?
- The Bible says Father Call No One (religiously speaking) But God. So how do I address a Catholic priest?
- Why, when he joked with me about his Presbyterian FG Priest molesting children Little ……?
- How many women is a Catholic priest to marry?
… Just so you know … you are not the only one who feels that way.
I feel God's call to … and in the future .. I want to be a priest. If this what Jesus wants.
How to start? well, talk to the priest of his community. Would be more than welcome to help ..
Pray for me, I will pray for you.
God bless
1) volunteer in their local parish, where possible, particularly to serve on the altar and assist the priest during religious services. This is a good way to learn the details of conducting religious services and to become familiar with the daily life of a priest.
2) Understand that the priesthood in most religions you will need to refrain from sex and romantic relationships. Being a priest in the Catholic Church requires a life of solitude, it is important that you decide if you will be able to handle life in this way. The belief behind this requirement is that you will be able to think clearly and fully dedicate himself to the priesthood if it is free from the emotions associated with these types of relationships.
3) Go to college after graduating from high school. A bachelor's degree at least, are required to become a priest and it is better if the degree is an issue somehow related to the studies that will continue as part of the priesthood. For example, philosophy, history, psychology and theology are good subjects to concentrate on his studies at university.
4) Enroll in a seminar after college graduation to pursue a master's in divinity. This degree usually takes about 3 to 4 years to complete and focuses on the study of theology. Some seminars will also allow you to enter a program for 8 years just outside the secondary school where both his Bachelor's and Master.
5) Serve as a deacon after graduation from seminary. This position is considered an internship for the office of priest and usually takes about 6 months time. After completing this requirement will have to take a formal vote to enter the priesthood.
6) Spend time praying at the same time the decision to become a priest, to ask for guidance and direction from God. Talk to your parish priest and ask any questions you have about entering the priesthood.
Contact your diocesan vocations office.
The people can not answer your questions, help you to discern where God is calling you and let you know what your options are.

With love in Christ.
well, I want to be a Catholic first and then make sure it is confirmed then you have the Sacraments must then ask the diocesan director of vocations if still interested.
Say what! I will pray for you to come to their senses, why do you want to go to hell? I'm serious!
Only thing you should do is to invite Jesus in your heart that He will lead his way. I urge you to stay away from the Roman Catholic Church is evil.
Once Jesus is in your heart you'll know exactly what to do! Try it! What should I lose?
I'd get Ahold of the diocese's vocation director. You could go to a seminar at the university, like myself, or go to the secular university then go to a seminar. This is a long and difficult road. But the rewards are much better.
Here is my big question:
What happened to the seventeen year old, two girls molested a priest?
I understand that they did in the rectory.
.
The obvious answer: ask a Catholic priest.
You need to start with his pastor. He can help with the process, and we recommend that the bishop. If you do not want to go that way, most of the diocese has an Office of Vocations, and you can go directly to them. While there is a shortage of priests, not to accept anyone (which is why you may want the pastor of the recommendation). My diocese has retreats twice a year for men contemplating calling. If you offer this Diocese, is another great place to start.
Above all, this decision must be done through prayer. I hope that in the end will be happy, and where God wants you, and you can use for good.
First, the main requirement is a love of little children
