Fr John visit - Questions about vocation

Fr John came to visit us today. We had planned lots of questions to ask him about his vocation of being a priest. We then went on to sing some songs together, show him our classroom and even taste some bread from Mass. We had a great time and learnt so much about what it is like to be a priest. Could this be our vocation?
