Could
You Ever Become A Catholic Priest?
Christopher J. Duquin Lorene
Hanley Duquin
Maybe you've had thoughts about the
priesthood off and on over the years. Maybe you
still feel the pull and keep trying to reject it.
Maybe you've just begun to think about it. Chances
are, if you're struggling with the idea of
priesthood, you probably feel somewhat confused,
frightened and alone.
The purpose of this
book is not to persuade or coerce you in any way. It
is rather meant to help you explore in a safe and
private way some of the issues, questions and
concerns revolving around vocation to the
priesthood.
