Missionary Leadership Institute

Imagine what our communities would look like if each parish had a group of parishioners and staff formed and equipped to accompany others and serve as leaders in any ministry.

The Missionary Leadership Institute / Instituto de Liderazgo Misionero, is designed for a wide variety of parish leaders to:

Discern their vocation, their particular call to holiness
Be formed as leaders who will evangelize and disciple others
Serve more effectively as lay ecclesial ministers (parish staff)
All formation is offered in English and Spanish
