there i am in the midst of them matt 18 20 community life one of the main differences between diocesan and religious priesthood is community life through the perpetual profession of poverty chastity and obedience the church creates religious families like any large family some brothers have similar interests and interact often others not as much but they are all brothers bonded by history profession and purpose in times of celebration and times of grief they are there in support of one another s prayer life moral life and personal life they are there in accomplishing works for god that could never be done by one person or in one lifetime they are there the best way to learn if a religious family is a good fit for you is to spend time with them the oblate associate program and summer catholic youth camp internships are two ways to do just that great occasions for serving god come seldom but little ones surround us daily st francis de sales salesian spirituality salesian
