Common Questions Asked by Parents

Note that your son or daughter would ever keep you in the dark, but here are answers to some commonly asked questions by parents…

Will my son live far from our family?

The most honest answer to this question is "it depends!" Diocesan priests almost always remain within their own diocese, serving the needs of the local parishes. Some religious communities live and work within a specific location. Other religious communities live and work in a variety of locations, often working in areas where the talents of the brothers and priests are most needed. As a member of a religious community, your child might have the opportunity to live and work in several parts of the country. Brothers and priests can also become foreign missionaries and travel to other parts of the world to preach the Gospel of Jesus and to help others .
