| If you
have any questions about the priesthood, you will be
pleased to hear that we are ready and willing to help
you with any questions that you might have. It takes
a great deal of courage to make that first step, we
will deal with your queries in strict confidence and
you can rest assured that you will be under no pressure
nor obligation.
Priesthood represents one of the greatest
challenges a person can ever decide to undertake. There
are highs and lows, good times and bad times, but, at
the end of the day, as a priest you can take satisfaction
in the knowledge that the impact you have on people
is profound - you make a difference.
The Derry Diocese has it's very own,
well informed vocations council - the details of it's
members are listed below. If you would like to discuss
you feelings, please do not hesitate to contact the
office for further details.

Prayer for Vocations
Lord Jesus Christ,
While you walked the roads of Palestine,
you chose and called apostles
and confided to them the task of preaching the Gospel,
of feeding your flock and ministering your Sacraments.
Grant that, in our day,
Your Church may not be deprived of holy priests who
will share with everyone the fruits of your Passion
and Resurrection.
Pope John Paul II
