How does a priest get to a diocese in the first place? Does the diocese offer the priest the position?

Yes. Let us suppose, for the sake of discussion, that you were a Catholic man living in West Virginia ... and you thought perhaps that you were called to the priestly ministry. The Diocesan website offers you some guidance on how to go about pursuing that possible vocation. Note that Step 2 "The Application Process" involves an interview with the Bishop.

Or a priest can choose to become a member of an order. The brother of one of our church employees, for example, chose to become a Norobertine and is going to school out of the state — I believe in California.
