Abstract
This quantitative study is conducted to explore factors motivating seminarians to pursue priesthood. The exploratory factor analysis was used to determine reasons behind the seminarians’ decision to enter into seminary and follow the formation process to become priests in the Catholic Church. A total of 156 college seminarians responded the Motivation for Priesthood Questionnaire. The Age of the participants ranged from 16-43 years (mean = 20.5, SD = 4.3). The results show that there are five factors that motivate the seminarians to pursue priesthood: to follow the Lord and to serve His people, to please others’ expectations, to satisfy personal needs, to follow the life and good example of others and self-awareness. The seminarians realize that they are primarily called by God to follow Him by serving His people. Besides, they are also extrinsically motivated by others on their journey toward priesthood.
