All sorts of organisations and theological colleges hold vocations events to help you explore ordination or other forms of service. Some are annual and some are fairly frequent. This page mentions some of them, but please bookmark this page and check back regularly as new events will appear once dates are published. SCP VOCATIONS WEEKEND MANCHESTER 26TH-28TH APRIL
SCP is holding its annual Manchester Vocations weekend in April - 26th to 28th. It's a weekend for those interested in vocation to priestly ministry to meet priests, visit parishes, share experiences, and have input on ways to discern vocation. It's also good fun! The weekend has been useful not only for those of an inclusive Catholic outlook, but to others who would value experience of a different outlook in the Church. Last year we were over subscribed so we do recommend booking early. Details are at: http://scpvocations.wordpress.com/
