Diocesan Officials Track

The purpose of the track is to assist the Church in building up in diocesan officials in excellence. Our workshops, taught by veterans in the field, encourage faithful innovation, and an understanding of how to work collaboratively, seek success, avoid burnout, and not make huge mistakes in this uniquely challenging form of ministry. This track offers an array of pragmatic workshops, speaking not only to newer diocesan officials, but also to more senior leaders, and even to bishops, chancellors, and vicar generals. In the many dioceses working with Franciscan University, demand for this assistance is expanding, as diocesan budgets tighten and indicators of Church strength in many categories create increasing challenges and urgency in unfolding the new evangelization effectively. This track also supports the existing and growing gathering of diocesan officials at the annual St. John Bosco Conference, providing encouragement and intentional opportunities for networking and sharing of strategies.
