About this sermon

A recent report is shedding light on the state of priestly vocations in the United States. Texas-based Vocation Ministry spent hundreds of hours researching why there is a lack of priests in the US. It notes that in 2021, 42 dioceses did not ordain a new priest. The study says it examines the shortage and suggests some steps forward.

Gruenewald tells us about some of the research she did and what sources she used. The founder of Vocation Ministry discusses whether there is any good news to come from her study. Gruenewald explains what some of the steps forward are to increase vocations in the United States.
