I am a 15yr old high school student and I definitley feel called to live a life fully commited to Christ. Im not much of a people person so I know the priesthood wouldn't be good for me. What else is there that I possibly could do? What would be the path for that?
God Bless,

You could become a
monk. However, if you become a monk, be aware that you will probably be asked to live in a monastary with several other monks.
Then again, don't underestimate the importance of
the single life.
Here's another good resource...

Now I feel I'm being called to be a priest after praying about it for a while. Im going to this discernment day at a seminary to pray about my vocation and listen to priests talk about their calls in 2 weeks. That will help me on my decision and answer my questions.

there is always lay brothers. Brothers in orders like franciscans and such that do not get ordained into the priesthood. St Francis thought the same thing and was only ordained a deacon
