Developing Catholic Leadership

Are you working in a Catholic School or Parish; for a Catholic diocese or organisation; or perhaps with a Religious Congregation? In your present role would you like to lead with the “mind and heart of Christ?”

This qualification aims to develop leadership capabilities that enable participants to:
• Identify key elements of Catholic mission, identity, spirituality, and culture and integrate them into your school, parish, diocese or organisation
• Bring a Catholic perspective into the decision-making processes of your workplace to help build greater mission effectiveness across your organisation
• Review current practices and policies in relation to the Catholic identity, mission, and culture of your organisation
