The Archdiocese of Denver recently asked parishioners to share the names of young men they believe would make good priests. The response was a surprise — the Archdiocese received more than 900 names. Church officials say the initiative yielded more than just potential candidates; they believe it also sparked a genuine openness to vocations among young men in the city. Father Jason Wallace, Vocations Director for the Archdiocese of Denver, joins to share his reaction to receiving over 900 names, whether other dioceses have reached out for information about the initiative, and to offer advice for anyone contemplating a vocation to the priesthood or religious life.
