It’s surprising that it’s not a simple process to become a priest. After all, it’s a life-changing journey. So a lot of people and a lot of steps are involved.

The People

• It starts with the person considering priesthood. Okay, that’s the obvious one!
• The people who make up a person’s personal circle of support and affection have a big part to play: family, relations, close friends, peers, work colleagues, fellow students … this is not a journey one makes on one’s own!
• The local priest or a priest one has confided in for advice and guidance.
