  • Priests of the Diocese of Rochester - including Priesthood Vocations Awareness Team members Fathers William Coffas, Joseph Martuscello, Peter Van Lieshout, and Daniel L. White - challenge young men to step out in faith and take the first step along the path of saying “yes” to God’s call to follow him in a unique way.
    Leading up to the 60th World Day of Prayer for Vocations on April 30, 2023, the Catholic Courier, in collaboration with the Priesthood Vocations Awareness Team of the Diocese of Rochester, developed as series of videos profiling the vocational journeys and current ministries of several diocesan priests.

    I am a seminarian residing in the Philippines, and I am currently in the Novice stage of my formation. This video greatly motivates young people to respond to God's call to priesthood. I kindly ask for your prayers for an increase in priestly vocations. Thank you.

      I’m a 26 year old single man and I want to be married but cant find a wife, and I really want to have a family. Is struggling with women an indication that I have a calling to the priesthood? I have had countless talking stages with women and one failed toxic relationship just this year, and im worried I will never find the right woman. I have no interest in the priesthood or religious life or being a permanent bachelor. Been praying to meet my future wife for years but my prayers seem useless. Everyone I know is already in a relationship or engaged and they’re younger than me. I have strong sexual desires that are not sinful, but they’re painful because they’re unfulfilled. Im starting to believe that if God wanted me to find someone special, it would have happened by now.
      Im tired of hearing “God’s timing” and “Gods plan” when im just constantly lonely and sad. God doesn’t care that I want a family, let alone a good woman. God would rather have me be depressed and wishing I got married every day instead of actually being married. I do my best to stay physically active. I run 20 miles a week and lift weights. But im short at 5’8. Im feeling desperately lonely. Im worried just because I am worried that struggling to find a wife means im called to be a priest.

    I am not sure what the Church is being changed into. I would love to be a priest. I am not sure I am the right person now. At one time maybe. But I wish I could, but the Church is being altered, seemingly, and that is one reason I wonder about it. It is so arrogant to want to think we can preserve traditional values and Latin Mass while Vatican is acting so radically. I am worried for Our Church. The pre Vatican 2 generation will not be on earth soon. Jesus help me start with my faith, so I can do as you wish. Lemme know. That's what I think often.
