A Comparative Study of Religious Vocations of Women from Various Types of Schools

Since the scope of the Church’s activities for the salvation of souls has expanded beyond the man power of Its Religious men and women, the subject of vocation recruitment Is gaining more and more attention in religious and ecclesiastical circles. Writers Interested In the problem have listed many and varied factors promoting or hindering religious vocations. All, without exception, point to the Influence of the home; many stress additional environmental factors. Regional surveys indicate that some hold to the Influence of urban or rural settings; whilst others assert that "calls do not follow a distinct pattern—that the most unlikely people sometimes receive a surprise invitation to go higher up."|The National Catholic Rural Life Conference in Its efforts to stem "the drift to the city" that is threatening the very life of Catholic America has always maintained that only an adequate system of Catholic education will resolve the problem of Catholic rural leakage. Some rural areas are deprived of this influence mainly because recruitment is the issue at stake.
