Inviting men from the Diocese of Rockford
to discern the priesthood.
Christ calls us to be his disciples. Formed by the Church, we help men discern and configure themselves to Christ, to joyfully serve as priests in the Diocese of Rockford.
Fr. Jack Reichardt
Vocation Director
Are you called to discern? Talk to a priest.
Do you hear his voice?
God still calls men to the priesthood. But in a world filled with noise and distraction, hearing his voice can be difficult. Jesus tells us, Be Not Afraid! The Vocation Office for the Diocese of Rockford is here to help young men discern Christ’s call and respond with courage.
Is God calling me? How do I discern?
Cast into the Deep.
“Today you are witnesses of hope: you bear witness to me and to everyone, because you have allowed yourselves to be involved in the fascinating adventure of the priestly vocation in a difficult time. You have accepted the call to become gentle and strong heralds of the Word that saves, servants of a Church that is open, and a Church that goes forth in mission.” — Pope Leo XIV to Seminarians
Ready to take the next step?
The path to holiness, whatever your vocation, is never done alone. The vocation director will walk with you in discernment to freely discover where he is calling you next. Whether it’s meeting one-on-one or attending a seminary visit, to be met where you are is the first step.
