An in-depth examination of the many familial, educational, and societal factors influencing the decision of young men and women to enter religious life today in the United States.
More than any other research in recent decades, Pathways to Religious Life makes available indispensable information about generating vocations to the religious life and priesthood. This readable and valuable book examines more than a decade of studies that explain the major influences shaping vocational choices, from family and parish, to education and beyond. It also offers a series of vital reflective questions to guide those responsible for sustaining
vocation ministry. Moreover, it will enlighten and encourage all Catholics concerned about future leadership and service in the church, especially parents of young people who might be considering religious life.
