Saturday, February 5, 2022* 
9:00am to 1:00pm

The Ministry Discernment Conference is offered virtually* this year by our bishops and the Commission on Ministry to give potential applicants to the ordination process an opportunity to explore their sense of call and whether that call is to ordained ministry or committed lay ministry.

Any person considering applying for admission to the ordination process in 2022 is required to attend the Conference, along with his or her sponsoring priest and at least one member of the Parish Discernment Committee.  Discernment Committees are appointed by the priest of the sponsoring congregation and should be named before the Conference so that as many members as wish to may attend.  One member of the Discernment Committee must be a member of the Vestry.  Spouses or partners of inquirers are also welcome to attend.

There is no cost to attend this year's conference. For additional information, please contact Edie Dolnikowski, Canon for Ordained Vocations, edie@diomass.org; 617-482-4826 ext. 514.

Online Registration Closes on Monday, January 31, 2022

*Given our commitment to make all our gatherings as safe as possible, the Comission on Ministry co-chairs have made the decision based on current conditions to hold the Ministry Discernment Conference as a virtual event this year.
