"While vocation is a call from God, it can be responded to only in an environment where God has a place. Good family life which is built on the love of the parents for one another and for the children, good Catholic Education and a strong sense of responsibility for the Church may be some of the reasons why young men continue to consider the priesthood as a possible choice of life."
