"The priesthood
is the love
of the heart
of Jesus"

St Jean Marie Vianney

Welcome!

Praise be Jesus Christ!
First let me introduce myself, my name is Fr. Michael Dolman. It is a great privilege to serve the Archdiocese in this role as Vocations Director and we will guide and assist you on every step of your discernment process to help you establish whether you have a vocation to the priesthood.

I marvel daily at the young men like you who seek to follow the call of Christ with generosity, selflessness and courage. I am here to accompany and assist you to see if the Lord is inviting you to follow him as his servant-priest to this Archdiocese. We are very excited that you have the strength and depth of character to begin this process.

You are in my prayers; May the Lord Jesus and our Blessed Mother grant you wisdom to discern your call.
​
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call or email me. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you better and accompanying you on the journey.

Yours in Christ
Fr. Michael
Vocations Director
