			Home  /  FAQ's Page Options Back to FAQ's Previous Next Add to Favorites Ask Your Vocation Question Send Feedback Religious Orders How important is attraction to a vocation? Am I called to an order or not? I'm 16. I am not sure which order God is calling me to, and I'm very confused. How do I know which religious order is for me? How can I tell if a certain congregation is faithful to the Church's teachings? Since so many religious orders don't seem to be for me, should I found a new one? What are the differences between Franciscans, Dominicans, Benedictines, and Carmelites (and any others I might have missed)? I have lots of questions about the different orders? how many are there, what sort of lifestyle do you have? What will happen to my savings when I make solemn vows? Why do they take you away from your family when you become a sister? How can I get a list of all the orders? I'm wondering what is the best way to go about choosing an order? Diocese or order? How does one choose which religious community is best suitable for him? How does one know which order is the right one? Diocesan or religious? What is the best way to investigate and discern which order is right for you? How can I enter religious life with two young children at home? I'm a bit disturbed by the laxity of some parts of the community and wonder if I should join. Do you have to give up your family forever? My mom wants to know what limitations my life would have as a nun. What does it feel like when a community of sisters is right for you?

I have been praying a lot about what order to join, but I haven't got an answer. What do you suggest? I am devastated by the thought that I might have a vocation: are people with vocations really happy? If I can't enter until I'm 21, I will go to college and pick up debt? should I? I have so many choices: how do I know which order to choose? I'm coming back to my faith and I'm looking for which order or movement to join... do you have any advice? How do you know if you have a calling to become a priest or brother? Which order should I join? Are any orders open to married people? How do I discern which religious order to join? I'm having a really hard time discerning between priesthood and marriage. I want to apply for a religious order in another country but don't think I'll be accepted. Any suggestions? I am really close to my family, and I don't know if I can cope without them. What advice can you give me? Is it true that religious communities look for signs that you are called?
