Welcome to the Diocese of Leeds Priestly Vocations website.
All young Catholic men who take their faith seriously wonder whether the Lord may be calling them to the priesthood. The events which the diocesan vocations service organises provide boys and young men in this diocese with opportunities to think through what they want to do with their lives. We also help single middle-aged men to contemplate whether they are being called to this particular service in God's Church. We organise a wide range of activities, including discernment meetings, ten-pin bowling outings and hikes in the North York Moors. In this Year for Priests, the number of men seeking advice and support has increased considerably. If you are looking at this site, it is likely that you too feel that you may have a vocation to the priesthood. Have a look around the site and when you feel ready get in touch!
