  • Our Values

    • Led by the Holy Spirit 


      To surrender to God’s will through daily prayer, fasting, and living in God’s word. Whether in the chapel at the Chancery, attending mass, or prayer during your commute, employees should find time in their day to incorporate daily prayer. Daily prayer could include Lectio Divina, rosary, novenas, journaling, and mediation, imaginative or contemplative prayer, to name a few. As Catholics we are called to fast during specific liturgical seasons however, we should not miss opportunities to strip ourselves of worldly desires in order to turn our focus and dependence back to God. Employees should constantly be striving to live in God’s word all while living with the world. Living in and through God’s word requires a change in how we see the world—to move to a more biblical worldview.

    • InTentional Evangelization 


      We seek opportunities to witness and encounter Christ through radical hospitality, personal witness, and a bold proclamation of the Gospel. Radical hospitality is rarely about spending the most money or having the best food; instead, it is the overall environment we are creating, how we are welcoming people in. Employees should welcome everyone into their office with warmth and the love of Christ. The start of good discipleship is a personal witness, to let others know how God has moved in your life and the goodness He has brought. Employees are encouraged to share their story in hopes to turn the glory back to God and the good news of the Gospels.

    • Authentically Human


      We strive to be Authentically Human in our journey of humanity encountering divinity. This is lived through building Christ centered relationships, meeting people where they are, and healing the whole person. There is a beauty employees have in working for the Church and going to work each day with people who share in Faith. We should not take that for granted but instead work to always keep Christ at the center of relationships and conversations. The Church brings in many people of all walks of life and it is important for employees to recognize where a person might be in their walk with Christ and find a way to meet them there and gently and lovingly guide them closer. Ministry requires a lot from employees, so healing of the whole person is crucial to remain steadfast in the mission of the Church.
