We offer comprehensive psychological evaluations for individuals discerning a call to the priesthood or religious life.

Alpha Omega Clinic provides:

  • Partnership with diocese, seminaries and religious orders in their discernment of candidates for vocational suitability.
  • Licensed psychologists fully trained in the administration, scoring and interpretation of psychological tests.
  • Adherence to best practices and use of the latest psychometric measures to evaluate the intellectual, emotional and psychological functioning of the applicant.
  • An approach that is aligned with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Guidelines for the Use of Psychology in Seminary Admissions.

“Psychological assessment serves in a supportive role to provide greater clarity about an applicant, so that those responsible for the admissions process have a fuller understanding of the applicant besides the many other components of the application process.”
