Am I called? What should I do?
Do these questions trouble you? Does religious life somehow appeal to you, even though you can't
really understand it and perhaps don't even want to?
We encourage you to ask yourself these questions and seek answers.
Our founder, Saint Arnold Janssen, said:
It is always a risk
to respond to God's call,
but God is worth such a risk.
In this phase of searching and questioning, it is helpful to contact a religious
order and to seek clarity through personal contact and conversation, by getting to know the community.
