Study of multiculturalism in religious life begun

In December NRVC mailed a survey about multiculturalism to all major superiors. NRVC asks all its members and friends to encourage their major superiors to complete and mail the survey to CARA (Center for Research in the Apostalate) by January 15, 2014.

This study of all U.S. men’s and women’s religious institutes is to:

• identify best practices for incorporation and integration of multi-cultural and multi-ethnic candidates into religious life, and

• inform the creation of future materials and resources to assist institutes in accomplishing this integration effectively.

NRVC looks forward to publishing the results of this major research in late spring 2014.
