"I have come that you may have life and have it to the full"
John 10:10

The glory of God is man fully alive; to be fully alive is to see God.
St. Irenaeus.

The Church in Tasmania needs priests:

• who are open to the Spirit of God, who are "fully alive"
• who can share the lives, loves, joys and sorrows of God's people.
• who can work with the Archbishop, priests and laity to raise the awareness of God's kingdom in their midst.

Consider the following statements:

• Your relationship with God gives you strength and direction.
• You love your Catholic faith and are faithful to the Eucharist.
• You enjoy working with people.
• You are often found going out of your way for others in some kind of service.
• You are physically, emotionally and spiritually healthy.
• Other people have suggested to you that you may be called to priesthood or religious life.
• You don't feel worthy of the call; you are somewhat afraid but at the same time excited by the possibility.
• You are able to diligently apply yourself to your studies or your job at the present time.
• People can count on you to come through for them.
• You have a sense of humour.
