How do I apply?

First steps...

Learn everything you can about the Redemptorists. Visit one of our parishes or one of our many websites. Sign up for one of our retreats or mission preaching events. If you like what you see and hear set up a time to talk to a Redemptorist in your town or to one of our vocation directors.

What’s next?

Contact the Vocation Director. The vocation director will help you understand more fully what we do, where we live, how we minister and other important information. During this time of discernment, you may be asked to seek out a spiritual director, pray about your calling, as well as participate in discernment and discovery retreats and weekends.

• Has comprehensive interviews with the vocation director
