“Called By Name” is a program where young people are nominated by members of their parish to learn about the path to priesthood and the discernment process. His Eminence, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, has been inviting some of these selected candidates to join him in Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, followed by a brief brunch at his residence. The Good Newsroom spoke with the nominees and seminarians who can guide these young discerners along their path.
The next step for many of these young Catholics will be to join a program to further explore the priesthood, like The Melchizedek Project or joining Cathedral Preparatory School and Seminary.
