(ignoring the words "career" and "recruitment")

Good article, the vodeo that is linked is really good too! Thanks very much for posting!!

I like using the idea of recruiting. I think many boys aren't opposed to the idea of a priestly vocation, they just have never put any thought into it. I was discussing in ecclesiology class this week that the priest shortage has ripple effects through so many things including vocations. When parishes could have more than one priest, junior priests could do things like be boy scout leaders and cyo instructors. That's the kind of role model/mentoring that my older brothers received that my sons did not. Of course now because of the sex abuse scandal, they probably would be afraid to do those kinds of things.
