This qualitative and quantitative research study is based on how professional ecclesial ministers are implementing and not implementing the NE priority goals.
Reviews
“The value of this work is heightened by the almost total lack of social science research in the field of the New Evangelization. Dr. McCallion’s work is unique... He examines the implementation of the New Evangelization through the perspective of a sociologist, albeit, a faithful Catholic sociologist who is very familiar with the parish scene, the primary locus of this study.”

Sacred Heart Major Seminary
“There is scant sociological research on the New Evangelization and so this is a rare piece of research addressing this important topic.”
-Dr. David R. Maines,
Oakland University
“Dr. McCallion’s research is a unique contribution both in the field of Sociology of Religion and for Ecclesial Studies in the area of the New Evangelization.
