The typical member of the ordination class of 2012 is a 31-year
cradle Catholic who prayed the Rosary and took part in Eucharistic
adoration before entering seminary, according to a survey of 304 of the
487 men slated to be ordained to the priesthood in the United States
this year. The survey was conducted by the Center for Applied Research
in the Apostolate.
Among the survey’s findings:
- the median age of ordinands is 31; the mean age, 35
-
the typical diocesan ordinand lived in his diocese for 16 years before
entering seminary, though 12% had lived in their diocese for less than a
year
