+ DO YOU:

+ consider a personal relationship with God as an important and vital part of life?

+ experience encouragement from others to consider priesthood?

+ think about or imagine yourself being a priest?

+ talk about your faith and experience of God in your life?

+ let fear control your decision about a vocation to priesthood?

+ willingly sacrifice for the service of God’s people?

+ enjoy life?

+ have healthy and life-giving relationships with men and women?
