Come & See! One In-Person Weekend Can Change Your Life
The Come and See Weekend provides an opportunity for you to take a deeper, more serious look at religious life. When you first come to realize God may be calling you to serve Him as a priest or brother, it seems as though you are the only person in the world with a vocation. Talking about it with your friends can be helpful to a certain point, but often your questions just don’t seem to make sense to them. This is where the Come and See Weekend can really make an impact on your discernment. The weekend brings together men like yourself. These men share many of your questions and concerns. In addition, the opportunity to meet and socialize with our friars and student brothers also helps in seeing whether religious life is really for you.
Your time at St. Dominic Priory and Studium will give you the chance to enter into the daily schedule and rhythm of a Dominican priory, to grow in your knowledge of the history and tradition of St. Dominic and the Order of Preachers, opportunities to meet and talk with the friars, both priests and student brothers, and the time to grow closer to our Lord in the Mass, the Divine Office, and adoration.
