Serving Those Who Serve
About Us
Borromeo Project Inc. is a non-profit corporation designed to be an intentional and practical way to aid the Church in strengthening her clergy and religious as they strive to be good stewards in the responsibilities entrusted to them.
In a fully obedient response to the Gospel and the Magisterium, the Borromeo Project team takes the proven best practices of the secular world and in consultation adapts, educates and provides the services needed to support those responsible for serving the Church as leaders; in these times marked by increasingly scarce resources and ever-changing rules, expectations, and structures, the assistance of a team of experts can free pastors for the primary duties of their vocation.
The Borromeo Project recognizes the “managerial” role of the priest as implicit in his vocational responsibilities and seeks to introduce new approaches and methodologies, new managerial and organizational techniques, for identifying, solving and even preventing crises, as well as reflects on the place of the priest’s managerial responsibilities within his call as to live as shepherd and servant.
Just as the philosophical, theological, spiritual, and pastoral formation of seminary are essential for the apostolic ministries of bishops, priests and religious, so too do these servant leaders need to understand and navigate the range of governance issues and challenges they will face throughout their ministry in their diocese, parish, or religious community. Tasks such as overseeing large operating budgets, eradicating significant debt, the transparent management of financial resources, the good organization of human resources, effective communication and crisis management, and long-range planning are skills
rarely mentioned in seminary or the novitiate. But can their importance for today’s clergy and religious be doubted?
At the Borromeo Project, while serving as good stewards, we help you to capitalize on your strengths to make your best choices.
