Diocesan Vocations Directors

by | Sep 5, 2012 | Discerning Priesthood, Featured, Preparing for Seminary, Vocations

Each diocese in Scotland has a nominated priest whose role is to promote and foster vocations to the priesthood within each diocese.

In addition, the Diocesan Vocations Director is responsible for helping a potential candidate for priesthood discern their vocation, and, if both feel ready, when the time is right, to suggest that the candidate begin the formal process of application for studies for priesthood.
