Three Steps

Based on my research and conversations I am anticipating a three step process before I enter the seminary.

Step 1) Get the approval of the vocation director and the application package.
Step 2) Submit the application package.  Do the interviews, psychological
            screenings, transcripts, etc. for the diocese.
            If the approve my package, then they submit the package to the
            seminary of their choice.
Step 3) Do the interviews, psychological screenings, transcripts, etc.
            for the seminary.   Get accepted there.
