Discernment Groups
Ever wondered if anyone out there is thinking about priesthood or religious life? Got that feeling that you are doing all this discerning alone? Meet others discerning a vocation as a priest, sister or brother. Learn how to discover God?s will through a series of classes on discernment.
A network of 13 discernment groups throughout the Archdiocese has been established to give you support and guidance. For the location of the group meeting in your area, please refer to the following list Discernment Groups 2007-08 or contact the Office for Vocations at 213 637 7248.

You are welcome to arrive the day before, attend classes and see what a seminarian’s normal day is like! For more information contact Fr. James Forsen at 213 637 7515 or frjrforsen@la-archdiocese.org
