Discernment Opportunities
The Marianist Vocations Office at UD is here to provide resources and accompaniment to those discerning their path in life, for all types of discernment. We also host discernment evenings each semester in addition to an annual discernment retreat.

This Discernment retreat offers an opportunity for young adults to learn more about Marianist religious life, pray, discuss and relax in a peaceful atmosphere for a weekend away at Governor’s Island on Indian Lake.

UD Marianist Accompaniment Team
Campus has an entire team of Vowed Religious and Lay Marianists who walk with students discerning Religious Life!
We welcome students to discernment and reflection evenings at the communities of our Sisters, Brothers and Priests. We also organize celebrations of the Church and highlight National Catholic Sisters Week, National Vocation Awareness Week and more.
Members of the Marianist Accompaniment Team at UD walk with students at any point in their discernment journey whether they feel a call to a specific religious order or not, or if they feel a call to be a diocesan priest. Our members are listed below and can be reached at vocations.ohio@marianist.us for more information or to set up a time to meet.
