Leadership Pilgrimage
The administration of many Franciscan institutions is no longer in the hands of the founding religious communities. This pilgrimage is offered to CEOs, administrators, board members and all those who have significant responsibility in carrying forward the mission of Franciscan Institutions. The program’s goals are threefold: (1) to bring into focus the transformative vision and legacy of SS. Francis and Clare; (2) inculcate Franciscan values into Franciscan systems; (3) help leaders clarify the vision and values which shape the philosophy of Franciscan Institutions.
Pilgrims in this experience come with openness to personal transformation and willingness to translate their learning into corporate action. Study, conversation, prayer and leisure help to realize the goals of this program.
