Staff Te Kupenga

Staff at retreat 1

Staff in Te Kupenga - Catholic Leadership Institute met for the first time last week in Auckland. Over two days, they relaxed with each other, talked with some members of the Board, shared their hopes and vision for the new organisation, identified priorities for attention in 2020 and celebrated the Eucharist together. A strong desire to form and be seen as a community of faith emerged from the gathering.
