Every young man eventually has to make some hard decisions – college, career, marriage, family, religious life. How do I know what’s right? Does God care what I decide?

Maybe people have suggested that you check out the Seminary. Perhaps they see in you a person who loves God, loves people, and has the potential to be a priest. Maybe you’ve caught yourself thinking about the priesthood at church, in your personal prayers, or wherever. Maybe you’ve thought to yourself: Will I have to give up everything – my family, my friends, the things I enjoy? Must I be super holy, super smart, or somehow “different?” Anyway, how would I know if God is calling me? Seminary visits will help you answer these questions as you witness a seminarian’s life of work, study, prayer, and joy!

The weekend retreats are hosted by seminaries in or near the state of Nebraska. The retreat includes sharing in the liturgical life of the college, meals with the seminary community, opportunities for confession and prayer, an introduction to the seminary formation program, a tour of the seminary, gatherings with the seminarians and engaging talks.
