About
The Catholic Leadership 360 program has been developed by the National Leadership Roundtable on Church Management, National Federation of Priests’ Councils and the National Association of Church Personnel Administrators. We believe that leadership development and the ongoing formation of priests and lay ministers are vital elements of pastoral ministry in our Church today. We also believe that those who minister in the name of the Church are called to grow in the likeness of Jesus so that their ministry can more accurately reflect his life and communicate his message. Both priests and lay ministers grow to understand and appreciate the meaning and purpose of their ministry as they exercise it. The experience is richer when ministers are asked to reflect upon their words, actions and effectiveness and when they have the opportunity to receive feedback from those with whom they interact and work.
