Rockford Priest
Inviting young men from the Diocese of Rockford to discern priesthood.
Do you hear his voice?
To hear his voice is a gift. Often though, with the noise of the world, it can be hard to listen, let alone respond. Jesus knows this, telling the Apostles and us to Be Not Afraid! Fr. Jack Reichardt, the vocation director, is here to help young men from the Diocese of Rockford to listen and respond to that call with courage.
Is God calling me? What is discernment?
Cast into the Deep.
“Today you are witnesses of hope: you bear witness to me and to everyone, because you have allowed yourselves to be involved in the fascinating adventure of the priestly vocation in a difficult time. You have accepted the call to become gentle and strong heralds of the Word that saves, servants of a Church that is open, and a Church that goes forth in mission.” — Pope Leo XIV to Seminarians, June 2025
Ready to take the next step?
The path to holiness, whatever your vocation, is never done alone. Fr. Jack Reichardt will walk with you in discernment to freely discover your true vocation. Whether it’s meeting one-on-one or attending a seminary visit, to be met where you are is the first step.
And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him.
MATTHEW 4:19
