Please encourage newer religious to fill out our survey

To improve the study's accuracy


Please help NRVC to encourage the 3,000+ members who entered religious life between 2003-2018 to complete our survey. It was recently mailed to them by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA).

If you know anyone who entered religious life from 2003 onward who did not receive a survey, please contact Sister Thu T. Do, LH.C. of CARA: ttd9@georgetown.edu or 202-687-1290. The questionnaire for newer members is available in English and Spanish.

Through this survey the NRVC is gathering new information about trends and changes in religious life and new membership. Superiors of religious institutes received surveys in January 2019, but it is not too late for them to still obtain or return a form.

The greater the participation by all communities, the more accurate our data will be. Communities that have NOT experienced new membership are encouraged to fill out the survey, too. Their experiences matter, and NRVC values their input.
