Is God Calling You to the Priesthood?
Priests have a critical mission: to bring people to Jesus, and Jesus to people. If you have ever felt a quiet pull toward the priesthood — or simply wondered whether God might be calling you — the Vocations Office of the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown is here to walk with you.

What is Discernment?
Discernment is not a decision made overnight. It is a process of drawing closer to Christ, praying deeply, and listening for His will in your life. The Vocations Office offers resources to help you understand what discernment looks like, what priests actually do, what seminary life is like, and how to overcome fears or doubts along the way.

Resources for Everyone
Whether you are a young man exploring the possibility, a parent wanting to support your child, or a parish looking to foster a culture of vocations, the Vocations Office has materials and events to help.
