Re: Vocation Question

I would recommend talking with your parish priest and asking him about his path to religious life. Also, contact your local vocation director. Your priest should have that information for you.
I am also discerning religious life. My first step was some internet research. Last month I visited a monastary which really helped. I would recommend that. You could possibly get in touch with a local Catholic school in the area and talk with the nun/teachers there. I do know of one teaching order: School Sisters of Notre Dame.
I hope I've helped! God bless!!
Peace & love,
Amanda

: I have a question about vocation. For

: been called to the celibate life and
: not to marriage. I have never had a
