Aspirancy
About Course
The aspirant stands at the threshold, asking whether God calls him further into dedicated service. This course teaches the art of discernment: listening for God’s voice, submitting to a spiritual father, learning obedience, and entering deeply into the Church’s cycle of feasts, fasts, and parish life — so that the decision to go forward, or not, is made in peace and truth.
