A transformative formation experience for priests, built on prayer, wellness, and leadership foundations.
Your Eius Journey Begins Here.
On the day of your ordination, you gave your life to Christ and His Church. In that moment, you were set apart. You were made another Christ. While you remain His, the world you serve today is different and its demands on priestly ministry are more complex.
Eius equips you to meet the realities of today’s Church with greater confidence, strengthening your leadership, deepening your priestly identity, and cultivating habits that sustain a life-giving ministry.
Because thriving priests are essential to a thriving Church.
Explore Our Tracks
Eius is offered in multiple tracks, each with its own distinct formation experience.
The Foundations Track
The Foundations Track grounds priests in a deeper self-awareness of their role as a shepherd of souls in modern times, growing their individual leadership skills and equipping them to navigate often complex pastoral environments with confidence.
- Self-paced learning modules to fit a priest's schedule
- Virtual small group gatherings for fraternity and reflection
- One-on-one leadership coaching for growth and accountability
The Priest Wellness Track
The Priest Wellness Track focuses on the health and wellness of the whole priest, including his spiritual, emotional, and physical health. Priests explore sustainable rhythms of life and ministry through practical guidance and disciplines that are not only sustainable but life-giving in their impact in supporting a priest’s regular ministry.
- Practical plans for exercise, nutrition, meal planning, and sleep support
- Coaching from professionals in fields of health and wellness

Wherever you are in your priesthood, Eius offers a path forward.
Eius is created to be an experience that is particularly attentive to your stage of life as a priest, meeting you in your responsibilities and desire for growth. Each experience is designed with the reality of priestly life in mind, offering flexible learning, personal coaching, and a national brotherhood of priests walking the journey alongside you.
What Bishops and Priests Are Saying
“I would say the most poignant self-revelation throughout this Eius process has been that God has given me gifts. They are easy to downplay at times, but He has called me to this moment. He is going to lead, and He is going to do it through the gifts I have.”
"I think the first obligation that a bishop has is to serve his priests, to pay attention to his priests, and to give them the opportunities to grow in their priesthood. The healthier the priests are, the greater the ministry is for a particular parish where those priests serve."
“In the busyness of parish life, it is easy for priests to not make time to visit with brother priests. I am thankful to the Catholic Leadership Institute that the Eius program gives me an opportunity to connect with other priests in my cohort and in my collective. The structure and content of the Eius program make it clear that CLI understands well the realities of being a parish priest in the United States with the challenges and opportunities of the present moment.”
