The program fosters this integration through a series of exchanges with peers in other Catholic elementary and/or secondary schools. They together explore the faith-building dimensions of Catholic school leadership in context of the privilege and challenge of leadership. Taking the 2 days for reflection, relaxation, conversation and prayer, they gain new insights and renewed energy for their leadership role. [More Information].

This book is the result of the Shepherding the Shepherds program and provides guided sessions on convening groups around a theme or season to pray, share, celebrate, relax and show their support for one another.
