Catholic Review Online: Archdiocese launches new vocations Web site

George P. Matysek, Jr. of Catholic Review Online has posted a great story on a new vocations website initiated by the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Here is a snippet of the article:

The majority of men who contact the Archdiocese of Baltimore for information about the priesthood do it through e-mail. So it made sense for the archdiocese to have a top-notch Web site to be more proactive in reaching out to future priests through the World Wide Web, according to Father Gerard Francik, vocations director.

The archdiocese has just launched a new Web site, www.becomeapriest.org, devoted to providing information about discernment, the priestly life and applying for the priesthood. The site replaces an older one that was much less interactive, Father Francik said.

The new site features profiles of current seminarians, resources for discernment, advice for parents, prayers, links to men’s and women’s religious communities and video of seminarians talking about their vocation.

Four seminarians – Gonzalo Cadavid-Rivera, Joseph Gill, Christopher Little and Carlo Stebbings – maintain blogs on the site. Father Michael Triplett, a newly ordained priest studying at the Pontifical North American College in Rome, also blogs from the Eternal City.
