Though |I will add that that year was one very important and formative year in my life. I’d say that even if you don’t end up being a priest it’s worth trying it out. It really helps you grow in yourself and gives you a chance to grow closer to the Lord. In many ways my year prepared me for my marriage and developed qualities in me that are vital to married life.I did a year and then I left. Soon after that I actually met my wife.
I also made some of my best friends in that year.
