As a priest, will I get to see and talk with family and friends regularly?
Of course. Family and friends are a great source of support and joy for priests. They can often be a key part of your support network. Having a place you can go and be yourself with people who know you well is very important. As a priest, whether diocesan or religious, you will have a great deal of personal freedom. You will have duties and tasks and responsibilities like everybody else, but also discretion over how to organise your leisure time. Naturally you would do this in a way that is consistent with your religious commitments.
