Are priests happy in their vocations – in their lives and in their work for Christ?
Most priests are happy in their vocations and fulfilled by their ministry. A recent independent survey taken of diocesan priests in the Diocese of Toledo found the following results: The priesthood is life-giving to me 96.7 % (“strongly agree” or “agree”) I am fulfilled as a priest 96.7 I would recommend the priesthood to a young man 90 I have a great assignment 91.8 I feel close to my brother priests 77.3 I have intimate friendships 91.1 I want to help foster vocations in my diocese 94.4 In a day and age when roughly 50 % of couples who enter into marriage wind up choosing divorce, the recent data regarding the state of priestly happiness and fulfillment is nothing short of astonishing.
