| Summary: | Using Thematic Analyses the experiences of thriving in ministry were explored across generations of Catholic women religious (N = 1116). Participants responded to open-ended questions regarding their dis/satisfaction with religious life. Sisters expressed concerns about ministry that demanded their energy and time normally needed for community prayer and living. Sisters reported on vital experiences that support their thriving in ministry. Furthermore, Sisters value support from their congregation and the collaboration with ministry partners. Strikingly, these results highlight important factors similar to the findings of research on the workforce and clergy ministry satisfaction. |
