Father Tom Wilson joins Patrick to discuss Priestly Formation

• What does the word seminary mean?
• (5:24) How can we foster vocations?
• (16:18) what are the four pillars of priestly formation
• How has vocation changed over time

(26:59) Break

• (27:36) Maria - Young kids should not ignore discernment.  I felt the call to the religious life and priests told me to think about it.  I had my own agenda.  I think in my whole life, that's the one big regret - that I didn't pursue that call.
• What are transitional deacons?
• (41:46) Patrick - I was discerning becoming a priest as a teen, but my mom told me no.  I never discerned it after that and had a fulfilling career and have helped others since then.
