Measure your "culture of vocations"

Measure your "culture of vocations"

New tool helps communities self-assess


This eight-page "Culture of Vocations" assessment tool was developed by Brother John Mark Falkenhain, O.S.B. for the “Men Religious Moving Forward in Hope” gatherings. This tool helps communities evaluate whether and how their internal culture encourages new membership. It was developed by men religious for men religious. NRVC hopes to eventually develop a comparable tool specifically for women religious.

This tool may be used in a variety of ways and can be adapted to a number of settings. For instance, it can be used for individual reflection, in a series of small group discussions, by leadership to generate strategic initiatives, etc. It aims to identify areas of strengths and areas that need development. Assessment questions are organized in six categories: charism, community, spiritual life and prayer, work, preparation for celibacy, and relationships to the larger church.
