Discerning a vocation can be tough. Often times, attending a “Come and See” or retreat visit to a real seminary can help a young man discern. “Can I picture myself here?” Each fall and spring, the Diocese of Rockford takes young men (ages junior in high school and older) from all over our diocese to attend such a visit. Though at an actual seminary, these visits are by no means a formal “this means I’m going to have to apply.” Rather, they are meant to be a zero-pressure, open, fun and engaging experience, that, should the Lord ever truly call, you now have a real experience to relate to, helping you discern one way or the other. This event is free.
