A podcast for anyone discerning a vocation to the Catholic priesthood.
One’s vocation from God is a deeply personal adventure. Yet frequently there are common threads that run through the Lord’s calling. Three Catholic priests sit down to discuss the familiar questions that come along with discernment while also sharing the joys and challenges of their own priestly adventure with God.
We’re here to answer questions, share our priesthood, and grow in openness to God’s will.

When a Guy Leaves
Seminarians beware: today we come up with some ideas for good, just punishments for guys who break a House rule. Then we jump into a good conversation about the inevitable and often difficult experience of watching someone decide to leave seminary.

Mentors
This week we begin by sharing experiences of our ordination weekends and which priests we invited to preach at our first Mass and to vest us as a deacon and priest (while also throwing out some hot takes for the diocesan Office of Worship to consider). Then we discuss what it means to be a mentor to young people discerning their vocation.

Guest: Sr. Rosa Linda Lopez Rocha, MCP
We are joined by Sr. Rosie of the Missionary Catechists of the Poor, a community of religious sisters based in Monterrey, Mexico who serve here in the Wichita diocese. We discuss the beauty and difficulty of learning a second language before hearing how the Lord called Sr. Rosie to give her life to Him as a religious sister.

Liturgy of the Hours
We chat about our practices of preparing for homilies before sharing our experience of the Liturgy of the Hours, the daily prayer of the Church, which sanctifies the entire day to God.

Awesome
Great podcast. The Father Drew Hoffman in his natural habitat… unbeatable.
Miss you, Father Drew!
I followed this podcast because I miss hearing Father Drew’s wonderful commentary on another podcast he used to contribute to on a regular basis, and I am very impressed. I am getting great spiritual insights from this podcast even though as a 61 year old woman, I am obviously not discerning the priesthood. Highly recommend this podcast; keep it up Father Drew!
NEED FATHER DAN FROM ST.ROSE
This show is pretty good honestly, but you are missing one key thing. That one thing is Father Dan from St. Rose. He would add such a special touch to you guys and you at least need to get him on an episode. He is the best priest I have encountered in my long catholic life. Thank you
