A discernment process is a time of looking at what is the deepest desire
that you have in your heart. God calls us through our desires and wants
us to be joyful in following the call and in striving for that desire.
This is a time of determining whether or not you do have a call to religious
life.
The
vocation director of a religious community can help you discern to which
type of religous life you are being called. A vocation director can help
you discover the best match of your gifts and personality with a particular
community's mission and spirit. This is usually a very informal process
and takes from six months to a year of meeting monthly. It may include
participating in activities and informal gatherings with the Notre Dame
community as well as just talking about your feelings.
The Notre Dame vocation director can be reached by telephone, through
a letter or by email:
Sr. Dorothy Rolf, ND
