Welcome to the Maine Vocations Blog. The purpose of this blog is to generate interest and discussion around becoming a priest for the Diocese of Portland, Maine. Our contributors are seminarians who come from all parts of the state and are currently studying around the country with the hopes of being ordained by Bishop Malone in the coming years. We all aspire to serve the people of Maine and bring them closer to Jesus Christ through the Sacraments, the Word of God and daily Christian living.
We all have different stories to tell and experiences that led us here, but I think we are all trying to respond and test the one call from God to his holy priesthood.
This blog will also provide the opportunity for us seminarians to delve into various topics about the priesthood and church that move us, that fascinate us, that prompt us to want to know more, do more and be more.
Lastly, this blog will become a good tool for any young man who is curious about how someone becomes a priest. It will even be a helpful tool for discernment.
