What do you need to be a Sulpician?
To become a Sulpician is to join a fellowship of support and service. Specifically, it means: Pastoral Experience. We expect our candidates to have at least two years of parish experience in order to bring some practical wisdom to priests and future priests.
Teamwork. We seek members who can work in a community setting, using a collegial style, and who can truly collaborate with both ordained and lay persons in a common mission. Faith. Our members constantly challenge themselves and each other to be prayerful, to communicate their faith, ideals, and enthusiasm for Jesus and the gospel, the Church and the priesthood.
Gifts. Because of our special mission, we need priests with above-average potential for professional training as spiritual directors, teachers— especially in the fields of theology and philosophy,— administrators, and/or pastoral supervisors. Willingness to learn. Sulpicians are always "on." We’re aware of our need for ongoing professional development and the value of new learning, especially regarding how to do priestly formation in the Sulpician tradition.
