Come & See:
Discernment Opportunities

There are great opportunities for men who are discerning their vocation to explore the possibility of their own call to the priesthood.
Come & See events offer men considering a vocation the opportunity to visit St. Charles Borromeo Seminary to see what seminary life is like and explore a possible call to the priesthood.
Thank you for your interest in our discernment opportunities!  These retreat days/weekends offer a man who is actively pursuing a call to the priesthood to spend time at the Seminary, to meet and pray with the seminarians and with other men who are exploring the possibility of a call to the priesthood.

Come & See events are held separately for high school men and for those who have graduated from high school.  To register for a particular event, please click on the date listed below for more information and the registration link.
