About the Priesthood

"The discernment of a vocation is above all the fruit of an intimate dialogue between the Lord and his disciples. Young people, if they know how to pray, can be trusted to know what to do with God's call."

Pope Benedict XVI, Response to questions by the bishops of the United States in Washington, D.C.,
 April 16, 2008

In the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee, we are blessed to have a total of 95 priests serving within our diocese, with 74 of those being diocesan priests and 8 religious priests. These priests serve as pastors, parochial vicars and chaplains across the 50 parishes, 9 missions and 9 schools found within our diocese.
 

Discerning Men

The purpose of this site is to provide answers to questions about the priesthood and/or consecrated life and to help you on the journey to discern your own vocation. Our goal is to provide you with the information, support and encouragement you need to continue your journey. Here you will find resources to help you to take that next step in responding to the call of Christ. We believe you will see that life as a priest or brother is not only rewarding, but fun and exciting too. May God bless you as you search for His holy will.
