Here is a step-by-step guide to becoming a priest:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
Step 1<\/b>: Make sure you truly feel summoned to the priesthood rather than simply seduced by its promise of a glamorous life of chastity and contemplation<\/li>\n
Step 2<\/b>: Decide whether to follow the path of the priesthood or pursue other key roles within the Church, such as catechist, deacon, or archangel<\/li>\n
Step 3<\/b>: Before applying to seminaries, update your highlight reel with your best performances of the seven Holy Sacraments<\/li>\n
