COME & FOLLOW
COME & SEE RETREAT
“Come & See” is a six‑day seminary experience at St. Junipero Serra House of Formation for young adult men (18+) who want to prayerfully explore a possible call to the diocesan priesthood. From Monday at 10:00 a.m. through Saturday at 1:00 p.m., participants live alongside our seminarians, sharing in their rhythm of prayer, community life, meals, classes, and fraternity. Rooted in Jesus’ invitation, “Come, and you will see” (John 1:39), the week is designed as a journey of Encounter → Immersion → Configuration, helping each man meet Christ more personally, experience seminary life from the inside, and listen more clearly for God’s will.
"If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me."

Hey, is God calling you?
Held once a month at Serra House, every second week of the month, this Come and See offers space for silence and adoration, spiritual direction, talks on discernment, time with seminarians and formators, and honest conversation about the joys and demands of priestly life. It is not a commitment to enter seminary, but an opportunity to ask deeper questions, grow in prayer, and discover how the Lord may be calling you to serve His Church.
