Discernment Groups

 

“Do not conform yourself to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.”
Romans 12:2

 

A discernment group is a meeting of Catholic young men or women who pray together and learn some basic aspects of discipleship, spirituality, and principles of discerning and knowing God’s will. The discernment group has the aim of helping young people to know where God is calling them, and to finding the strength to follow the call.
