Formation Programs

We provide support for parishioners who lead programs such as In the Footsteps of Jesus, and JustFaith – social justice formation experiences that work to develop social justice leaders throughout the United States.

We offer customized, on-site assistance. We can meet with designated leaders on a scheduled basis to provide FREE training on the following key skills: 
  1. Identifying, recruiting and supervising volunteer ministry leaders in an ongoing and systematic way
  2. Running effective meetings – group facilitation
  3. Development of questionnaires and needs assessments
  4. Development of a written plan with goals and objectives
  5. Orientation to the 4 dimensions of social ministry (direct service, education, advocacy/action, and empowerment)
