Catholic Leadership Institute inspires Catholic leaders to revitalize the Church for a joy-filled future rooted in the mission of Jesus Christ. We intentionally bring the head(data) and the heart (mission) together to offer an accessible and sustainable approach to leadership formation from a deep place of love.
Our Vision
We see a world where each individual understands their God-given mission in life and is doing their best to fulfill it; a world where Catholic leaders are influential voices in society; a world where Jesus’ example of loving, servant leadership is modeled in every family, workplace, parish, and community.
Our Purpose
Catholic Leadership Institute provides bishops, priests, religious, deacons, and lay persons in the Roman Catholic Church with world-class, pastoral leadership formation and consulting services that strengthen their confidence and competence in ministry, enabling them to articulate a vision for their local church, to call forth the gifts of those they lead, and to create more vibrant faith communities rooted in Jesus Christ.
Our Values
- Love of Christ and the Church
- Highest Standards of Excellence
- Care for the Individual
Our Pillars
Forge the Future
We see a Church that is led by men who take up the staff of the Good Shepherd and walk Her people through our modern times with boldness, confidence, and joy.
Embolden the Clergy
We see priests who are chosen, anointed, and promised – to be His. With resolve, each man will reclaim the heart of the priesthood through renewal and love for Christ's Church to share His message with great joy, confidence, and competence.
Ignite the Parish
We see parishes that are equipped with a mission-driven mindset that “goes out” to find the lost sheep and welcome them to sacramental life in the Church.
