A diocesan priest has the equivalent of a masters degree in theology, which is normally a 4 years full time. Then spend some time as the duration of a transitional deacon (of time determined by the bishop) and then you are sorted.   Roughly I would say   4 years to obtain his BA in Theology / Philosophy   4 years to go through training for the priesthood and obtained his Masters in Theology and Pastoral   1 + years of serving as a transitional deacon   Or about the time they are 27-ish.
