Can my son become a Catholic priest?
It may seem stupid. I'm in my 30s. I have a boy. But today I feel a little strange. If I have a son, I give my religion as a Catholic priest? Is calling a God? or my imagination?

No, you can not "give" his son to God as a priest or a nun. The Church recognizes the life that can be devoted to celibacy and prayer are not decisions of others can do for someone else. The decision to enter the priesthood / convent absolutely must be a conscious decision made by the individual. And yet, there are several steps to the priest or sister-Hood, where the individual must make a conscious choice to continue the road.
What I recommend is that when you have children, raise them in a good home with a firm belief in the faith that you and your husband choose. This way you can be sure that you have raised your children with good moral character so they can make such major life decisions for themselves.
Old saying: The family that prays together - stays together - is truer today than we realize.
Maybe they're being called to produce a son for the priesthood, maybe have that child and grows and wants to dedicate his life to God, but for this to happen on Earth should be first. Maybe if you have a son who will be destined for greatness in the priesthood, to pray, through prayer you will have the resolution of what your call is, if being a mother and teacher or to pursue a ministry of God himself, leaving his "son," calling in the hands of the gods.
What is your problem, maybe he doesn't want to live a cloistered life of celibacy and prayer, perhaps, in fact almost certainly want to do things that other kids and their options for what is likely the only thing to unwanted attention of his companions! Why not give it a strange name too.
<<can my son to be a Catholic priest?>>
Maybe, but that does not mean it should. Is more than a simple career choice is a vocation. A man must be called by God to the priesthood, but the whole privilege.

As a Catholic parent (maybe, someday) would work to raise and educate your son (or daughter) in faith. It is not wrong to ask your child to consider the priesthood, but not pressure him. Not an option to consider whether it is called to the priesthood.
If you're for real! then here is the answer can not predict the fate of predicting the fate of an infant child, especially the future, if you have a child and is called to the priesthood by their own choosing and calling of God then it is fair and good will to him, not for you to decide your future based on a dream or a feeling!
Want to sell into slavery?
Do you preselect your girlfriend?
Did you force him to tyake on afamily business?
Accept those decisions SALES FOR YOUR PARENTS (S)?
If you then go ahead and set preplan works, hell!,,, Might also help plan your funeral tool!
I hope you do not get pregnant.
You can guide their children in the way of Catholicism, and you have that right. When your child is old enough to think for yourself, you can still choose their own Catholicism. But it's between God and his son as to whether it becomes a priest or not. It's not your place to "offer your child and give the religion to become a priest. May be common in other religious cultures, but not in Catholicism. Thank God.
No, it can, that's how things were done inn the time of Christ and perhaps even later, but it does not work that way. if you are blessed with a son who can rise to love the Lord God with all your heart and then, if it is called, you can opt to become a priest. then see if you are willing and spiritual education.
Do you really believe in planning for the future right? Your child could be anything you want to be, the key phrase here is, what he will be … when you have a child and when he grows up and becomes an adult he will make that decision, you can not "give" it to their religion. It might even be an atheist.
Why do not you become a nun? Why should you expect to have a life and family, however, hypothetical force their child to be deprived of these?
God calls his own staff. If you have a child and is intended to be a priest, he knows both.
What we're feeling is probably your clock's ticking … His own vocation.
Going to be calling your child, not yours. By the way - if not already in his thirties and still have children, what makes you think that this time is going to have children? I would say the opportunity is closed for you …

Today, a mother can not give a child for the priesthood. A child / young person would have to make that call yourself.
You can put in a Catholic school upbringing and we hope to follow the example.
Good luck.
You can give your son to become a priest. Who has done more in Western countries.
If your child grows and wants to be a priest, he can. But that's not his decision to make.
If you have a child, teach about their faith, raise it, and if God thinks it will be a good priest, will call. From there, it's time for your child to answer the call.
Ultimately, your child will be …. however, if you climb to believe that their calling is to the church, which will increase the chances of one day to kvell: "My son, the priest!
Chances are your imagination. Call many calls, but chooses a few.
Now, God may be leading you to raise the child in a Christian home - which could easily believe.
I've heard of alcoholics and workaholics Ive heard. But I've never heard of a Catholic. What carries her baby luxury. I will not judge …
always take him to be a model anti-roll, a danger to children, and someone who doesn't mind going against the Scripture that says his father is inappropriate to call anyone on earth. sure go ahead
I hope that if you ever had a son, would leave him to decide what you want done with their lives.
Let him decide.
But if you have never been married, why not consider devoting his life to God and become a Catholic nun.
This is not the dark ages, where families are given "extra" children to church. Let him make the decision when he is an adult.
Sure, your child, if any, can become what God wants it.
his imagination.
Why do we always think of giving your child to Catholic priests, knowing what priests do to children?
Yes, all you have to do is cut off as soon as born.
is in fact the decision of his son, not yours, but you can encourage him …
Only if it be a homosexual pedophile.
Would not surprise me if he is a priest. If you want to be a priest, sent him to this great school of NH. Here is some information.
The Apostolic School of the Immaculate Conception is run by the Legionaries of Christ, a religious congregation of the Roman Catholic Church and is located near the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The school is for young people given the vocation to the Catholic priesthood. Not all students can go to a seminary after graduation. Students receive a high education and are expected to cultivate a virtuous life and profoundly Christian. The Mass, the Rosary, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, reflections and meditations of the Gospel is recited daily, run by priests and brothers of the Legionaries of Christ. Sports activities include basketball, soccer, flag football, capture the flag, sledding, hiking, and snowball wars. The rector is Father David Steffy LC. Approximately 80 students attend school for grades 7-12.
The Legionaries of Christ is considered one of the fastest growing programs priestly vocation in the world. It was founded by Father Maciel Macial in 1941. There are other Legionary schools in Cornwall, Ontario, Colfax, CA Rolling Prairie, Indiana, and seminars in Thornwood, New York, and Cheshire, Connecticut. A university is being built in Sacramento, California, and another school is on schedule to be built in Texas. [1]
