Young Adult Discernment

 

In 2025, the Diocese of Allentown hosted several Vocations Discernment opportunities, including visits from various religious orders.  We will keep you informed of future events within the Diocese of Allentown.


Opportunities from Religious Orders

From time to time, various religious orders offer retreats for discerners. See below for upcoming opportunities in 2026:

On April 10-11, 2026, the NRVC Delaware Valley Member Area is sponsoring a Discernment Retreat, “Called, Chosen and Gifted.” This retreat is an Inter-congregational retreat for men and women, ages 20-45 who are exploring religious life. The retreat will be held at the Mother Boniface Spirituality Center in northeast Philadelphia, PA with an option to stay an additional night for quiet reflection if interested.
