Priesthood
Fr. Vincent Castaldi
“This sense of working as part of something and belonging to something that’s so much greater than myself is humbling, but so rewarding.”
Religious life
Br. Nathaniel May, O.Cist.
"I imitate Christ, who came to teach me on Earth, who loves me so much that He created every opportunity for me to come to know and love Him. If I am to be a teacher like Him, then I must also be a model who is open and willing to give, and willing to perfect my own teaching so that no impediment will stop my students’ from learning, if only they will receive."
Marriage
David Mata
“During my fellow year, I lived in a community of men, which taught me to pray with the people I live with, block out time to be intentional with my housemates, and make sacrifices for others. Those same unselfish decisions I made during my fellow year prepared me to be a husband for my wife. I learned love is not a feeling but thousands of little choices.”
The worrying decline in the share of male teachers
It is no secret that boys and men are lagging girls and women in schools and colleges. In the average school district, boys are now about a grade level behind girls in literacy.

Male Teachers Play an Important Role in the Future of Education
Men play a critical part in improving education systems when they become teachers. In a profession where women are the majority, male teachers diversify the education workforce and make a significant impact as role models for children.
