Before seriously considering the religious life, in any congregation, individuals should already be deeply involved with the life of the Church and their own parish. Regular attendance at the Eucharist, daily prayer and meditation should be an essential part of every lay person's life. Out of this faith life, some will feel called to lives of special service as clergy and/or religious. It is expected that anyone entering the congregation will already possess an active prayer life and a personal spirituality. Once in the community the candidate will be expected to embrace the special charism and spirituality of the congregation. If you possess these basic attributes, have a love for media, then perhaps you are being called to a life of service as a priest or brother in the Society of St. Paul.
