Why is the MPD Survey an important tool for vocational discernment?
The MPD self-assessment survey provides the first step on the vocation track: identification of the candidate. It helps young people to sort through their thoughts, goals and ideals, and then lets them see in black and white that, yes, they do (or do not) possess a strong interest in or aptitude for the priesthood or religious life. It makes follow-up of candidates easier because the best potential candidates have been identified. It’s exciting, to help someone recognize his or her potential and take that first step toward such a noble calling.
