How does someone become a priest?
After being accepted as a candidate by a diocese, a man who wants to become a priest will go to the seminary. In the seminary, he will receive the preparation, both spiritual and academic for priesthood. If he enters right after graduating high school, he’ll work towards an undergraduate degree in philosophy before continuing in a graduate program in theology. Seminary training and discernment, ranges from six to nine years depending on one’s educational background, before a man is ordained a priest. But do not let this discourage you. God always gives us the grace to do what He ask us to do.
