How to support the training of priests for our diocese

Things to read about priesthood and vocation

By Fr Stephen Wang, Formation Advisor at Allen Hall.
This article is based on a talk given at a Vocations Weekend to help men think about vocation to the Catholic priesthood, which took place at Allen Hall in November 2005.

There are many good books, websites and articles about priesthood and vocation. This is just a small selection. It is good to be reading something that helps and inspires us.

Another great source of inspiration is to read the lives of the saints, especially the priest-saints! There are too many to list here. Find a biography of a particular saint that you love; or find one of the many collections of short ‘lives of the saints’ that are available.
