| Résumé: | In this International study, 91 Roman Catholic sisters, responded to an open-ended question regarding their previous hesitations, obstacles, and fears as they discerned to enter religious life. Frequent concerns expressed by these young Sisters included varied doubts about their vocations, lack of support or understanding from others, insecurities about the ability to live obedience, and sacrificing marriage and children. These results suggest the need for Sisters to explore new expressions of vocation promotion activities, vital initial formation programs, viable intergenerational community living experiences, and to creatively collaborate with others to further the Mission of religious life into a viable future. |
