Catholic Press Association Award Winner! Reports indicate that many
newly ordained men are feeling demoralized and some are resigning.
The accounts raised many questions. How widespread is the problem?
What difficulties are the recently ordained priests facing? Is the
problem due to changes in lay attitudes or to changes in the
ordained themselves? Is the situation different from what it was
ten or twenty years ago? The First Five Years of the Priesthood is
a collaborative work of the National Federation of Priests'
Councils and the Life Cycle Institute of The Catholic University of
America that considers this phenomenon. It explores the experience
of early priesthood and is based on a pilot survey of two groups -
recently ordained priests active in service and those who have
resigned. The research team minimized interpretative work on the
findings and engaged credible voices in American Catholic life to
write commentaries on the implications of the findings. The First
Five Years of the Priesthood includes both the research findings
and commentaries. Chapters are The Setting of the Priesthood
Today," "Attitudes of Newly Ordained Active and Resigned Priests,"
"What Makes for Satisfied Newly Ordained Priests?" "Four Types of
Resigned Priests," "Life Experiences of Newly Ordained Active and
Resigned Priests," and "Recommendations Made by the Priests." Dean
R. Hoge is a professor in the department of sociology at The
Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. He has done
sociological research serving American churches for 31 years and
has authored several books and articles on American religion.
