The Labouré Society has rescued hundreds of Catholic vocations from the barrier of student loan debt thereby freeing them to enter seminaries and religious communities. Labouré teaches these "aspirants" to religious life a Catholic-based, metric driven, collective fundraising model. Through this model, aspirants erase or substantially mitigate five and six figure student loan debt in 6-24 months rather than 15-18 years. Through the Labouré program the aspirants are not only able to accelerate the elimination of their debt, but they also undergo a human and pastoral formation process which makes them ideal candidates for religious life. Laboure's rescue mission is urgent because vocation studies tell us there are approximately 3000 discerning men and women in this country who are abandoning their vocation because they think their student loan debt is an insurmountable obstacle to their vocation. The Labouré model removes that obstacle and frees our future priests and religious to enter seminaries, convents and religious orders. There is no other Catholic lay organization in the country having the impact Labouré is having in delivering vocations to the Catholic church. Laboure's rescue mission strengthens the church and helps heal our wounded culture. The world needs the light and leaven consecrated lives bring to all they encounter.
