Culture Definition Retreat

The Culture Retreat will be a two-day, overnight event grounded in prayer and worship. 4-6 Family Leadership Teams will utilize the Beacons of Light Leadership Culture assessment tool to facilitate discussion of the current ecclesial culture in their Family of Parishes. Teams will have time to grow together as a group and interact with teams from other Families. Facilitators will assist in the process of defining a set of core ecclesial values which support the desired ecclesial culture of discipleship. Family Leadership teams will consider how to integrate these new ecclesial values into culture management techniques for leadership development, team collaboration, hiring, performance management, and collaboration with lay leadership.

The Culture Retreat will be offered October 7 & 8 at The Spiritual Center at Maria Stein and November 11&12 at The Jesuit Spiritual Center (both beginning at 9 am the first day and ending 4 pm the second day). The Center for Parish Vitality will sponsor up to eight leadership team members from each Family of Parishes attending, at no cost to the Family itself.
