More Discernment Days coming up in the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri

Building on the success of our Spring Discernment Day, the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri is pleased to offer further opportunities this fall for those exploring a call to ministry. We will host four virtual Discernment Evenings on consecutive Monday evenings in September and October from 6:30 pm - 8 pm.

Each session will focus on a specific path of service: ordination to the priesthood, ordination to the diaconate, lay ministry, and religious life. During these evenings, guest speakers representing each path will share their personal perspectives, followed by time for open Q&A and group conversation. For anyone currently discerning a call, this is an excellent opportunity to take a meaningful next step along your journey.

The dates are as follows:
Monday, September 21 - Priesthood
Monday, September 28 - Diaconate
Monday, October 5 - Lay
Monday, October 12 - Religious

Please register for any or all of the evenings here:
