Forming Leaders

In this episode of On Mission, Chris Pierno, Kate Fowler, and Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C., are joined by Monica Thom Konschnik, Director of Administration at the Catholic Apostolate Center, to discuss a forthcoming eformation resource designed for leaders within the Catholic Church of short-term service immersion experiences. At one point in a leader’s journey, they were following and being formed by another. The purpose of this formation program is to provide leaders of of short-term service immersion experiences with a retreat-like opportunity to pray and reflect on 1) their own encounter with Christ, 2) their own experience of accompaniment by Christ, 3) formation of a community in Christ, and 4) their own experience of being sent on mission by Christ. This eformation resources is done in collaboration with the Catholic Apostolate Center and Catholic Volunteer Network. Catholic Volunteer Network fosters and promotes full-time domestic and international faith-based volunteer service opportunities for people of all ages, backgrounds, and skills. As the leading membership organization of Christian volunteer and mission programs, we support and enhance the work of our members through volunteer recruitment, training and resources, networking opportunities, and advocacy.
