Discernment Group for Men interested in Diocesan Priesthood

15 September 2025

The Cork and Ross Discerners Group is for Catholic men (aged 18 to 40) interested in discerning diocesan priesthood.

The Discerners Group will help you to explore the diocesan priesthood in a small group where you will find support and fraternity. Together, you will be given the opportunity to pray, discuss the priesthood, listen for God’s voice, and learn how to answer His call.

The group will meet monthly, starting on Saturday 20th September in Mardyke House, Cork City (T12 W8RP).
