Are you experiencing a sense of God’s call to ordained ministry? Do you want to further explore that nudge you feel to be a deacon or priest?
Attending the Explorer’s Day, organized by the Commission on Ministry (COM), is the first step to entering the discernment process for ordained ministry. Explorers attend alongside their parish priest (or in the absence of the priest, their senior warden or other leader).
The Explorers’ Day will provide
- an introduction to our diocesan Explorer Discernment Process (pre-postulancy)
- basic information about the steps to ordination
- next steps for beginning the process
- sharing about various lay ministries
- Bible study and theological reflection about ministry
