In addition to the universal call to holiness, there is a call to a few select men whom God is calling to serve in a unique manner.
Do you feel that God may be calling you to the priesthood? If you are discerning your vocation, you may want to talk to a trusted priest, sister, married person or single person. Ask them questions; listen to their stories; see if there is something in those experiences that is meant to guide you.
You will encounter obstacles and challenges in every vocation, but you will not face these alone. The God who calls, also walks with you. Seek the counsel of those who have also walked this journey before you.
Our vocations director is here to assist you in your discernment. Please call to make an appointment to discuss your call.
DIOCESAN PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
Vocation Live-Ins
A Vocation Live-In is an opportunity for young men to spend a weekend at the seminary. It gives them a chance to meet other boys and/or men searching for God’s will. During the weekend there are times for community prayer, daily mass, lectio divina (spiritual reading), rosary, sports, discussion groups, and a tour of the seminary and campus.
Most of the boys and men attending the Vocation Live-ins (which begin Saturday morning and end Sunday afternoon) are from B.C.’s lower mainland, but there are usually several from the U.S. and often a few from out-of-province.
We hope that in attending the Vocation Live-In, you will leave the seminary drawn closer to Christ, enriched by a deeper understanding of seminary life, and inspired to encourage other boys and men to consider and respond to a possible call to the priesthood or religious life.
Dates of the next Seminary Live ins:
February 7-8, 2026
July 4-5, 2026
If you are interested in attending a vocations live-in weekend, please contact Fr. Derrick, Vocations director at vocations@rcdk.org or calling 250-372-2581
