"A panel of Roman Catholic priests and others in church life faced an audience of lively fifth graders Thursday, offering snippets of their personal history histories and the motivation for their career choices. But many children were so unfamiliar with a nun's habit and veil that several directed remarks to 'the lady in the blue dress.'"
A recent article in The Baltimore Sun looks at efforts to encourage vocations among younger students.

Thank you, Deacon Greg Kandra, for the tip.
(I'm grateful that when Saint Patrick School was open, made a point of vocations presentation to students at each grade level: an introductory presentation to students in Grades K-4 and another presentation to students in Grades 5-8.)
