How many priests does Canada need?
Join Archbishop Smith and Dr. Ryan Topping (Benedict XVI Institute, Newman Theological College) for a discussion about the priestly “vocations crisis” in the Catholic Church, the brand-new study that Dr. Topping has published after surveying young priests from across Canada that explores the main reasons why young men choose to be priests today, the impact of altar serving on young boys, parents as the “first vocation directors” and much more.
