Retiring volleyball star Ludovic Duée, captain of the Saint-Nazaire club that won the French men's A League championship on Sunday, will join a traditional Catholic order of canons as he seeks to become a priest.

Duée will join the Canons Regular of the Mother of God, the French Catholic newspaper La Croix International reports. Days earlier, he told RMC Sport that "the goal is to become a priest."

“I am responding to what I consider to be an inner calling,” he told the outlet, according to Google Translate. “It’s not a fad, a delusion. ... It is not a choice by default. I have always had faith since my birth, I had this grace, I grew up in a Catholic family. And I have been looking for several years to find out how to fully give my life to the Lord."
