Leadership Formation for a Synodal Church
The Discerning Leadership Program supports Church leaders through formation, accompaniment, professional coaching, and resources, fostering more synodal, effective, and discerning service of the Church’s mission.
Our mission
Our mission is to support those invested with senior roles of authority and responsibility in the Church to develop their capacity as leaders, administrators, and managers for discerning and effective service to the Church.
Our formation programs are intended to foster discerning leadership consistent with the style of Christ and his exercise of authority for service. Our curriculum integrates human formation, management and leadership skills, and draws from the rich spiritual tradition of the Catholic Church.
With attention to the spiritual maturity and the practical competence of the individuals and groups, the Discerning Leadership Program supports the integral formation of discerning bodies, and the attitudes, skills, and knowledge for leading organizational renewal in a synodal way of proceeding.
For whom
We contribute to the mission of the Catholic Church by providing formation programs for Church Leaders based in Rome.
