Listening to and following Christ is always an adventure. You never know where you're going, but you know you're on the right track. Jesus said, "Go to the ends of the earth. Proclaim the Good News!" We take these words to heart and are willing to go wherever the Spirit leads us. We may have to give up family, health and even our own lives in order to accomplish this mission, but there is no greater love.

 

DISCERNMENT

 

Seekers Group 1"Seekers Groups" are for young adults aged 18 and over. They come together and share their experiences of God in an atmosphere of hope, joy and mutual support. They share and look at what God is calling them to be. To "seek" and discover God's will is the ultimate purpose of the group.

Within this process we take a serious look at religious life in a Missionary context. We have discovered that many young adults really know very little about Sisters, Brothers and Priests or the process of Seekers Group 2becoming one, or how to become one.

"Seekers" usually meet once a month for about two hours, for prayer, talks or videos, community-building and refreshments.

It is a complementary process to other kinds of Church ministry experiences in order to reflect and discover God.

These "Seekers" are young men and women who are interested in many of the same things as you. These monthly meetings are a place to question, seek, and explore various vocations, including religious life.
