Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who lived in a campus house dubbed "Fort Zion"?

Answer: Dan

Dan said he could describe the house as a Catholic fraternity. All of the residents dedicated themselves to church-related causes, but Dan was the only one considering the priesthood at the time.

2. Which of the men went to Germany for the Catholic conference known as World Youth Day?

Answer: Joe

Joe's girlfriend was also attending World Youth Day. He waited until late in the day to call her, however, and she later broke up with him.

3. Dan decided to do which of the following, in order to test his willingness to join the priesthood?

Answer: Carry an 80-pound cross from one town to another

He was accompanied on the trip by a priest who was his mentor, and by some of his friends as well. For safety's sake, the priest asked Dan to take more frequent stops as time went on. Dan succeeded in the quest, and was very tired, but not hurt.

4. Where did Steve want to go to work as a missionary?

Answer: Guatemala

In a poignant scene, Steve gives a speech in front of a group of supporters from his parish. Steve is very nervous, but remains determined to go on the trip.

5. Mike received a job offer that made him reconsider his thoughts of joining the priesthood. What was it?

Answer: Teacher

Mike had also contemplated a career which would allow him to raise a family. He attended a retreat to help clarify his feelings.

6. Where did Joe want to go to visit a retreat center?

Answer: Niagara Falls

The show follows his journey toward the town on the border between New York and Ontario. In an amusing scene, when Joe finally gets to town, he has to ask a lot of people for directions--no one seems to know where the retreat center is. He does manage to track it down, however.

7. How did Joe pay for his trip?

Answer: He hiked there and did odd jobs for people along the way

Joe walked the entire distance. He earned a little cash here and there, by washing dishes in restaurants, for instance. Joe was also lucky to meet a few kind people who would hand him food and drinks.

8. What type of organization did Dan open at his school?

Answer: A worship group

Dan led the group in prayer and singing. The organization consisted of several dozen students, who met at Dan's residence hall.

9. Which one of the men had an ongoing dispute with his mother about whether he should join the priesthood?

Answer: Joe

Joe was very close to his parents. Other members of his family had joined the priesthood before, so perhaps expectations were running high. In the end, Joe's parents accepted that the decision was in his hands, and promised to stand by him no matter what.

10. At the end of the series, how many of the men decided to go ahead and study for the priesthood?

Answer: 1

Only Steve wound up choosing to go into the vocation. The other three chose jobs in the private sector, although all remained dedicated to their faith.
