Boston College Clough School of Theology and Ministry

Project Information

• Initiative: Individual School Grant (ISG)
• Project Title: So I Send You: Together in Christian Leadership and a Synodal Church
• Project Description: This five-year project will offer formative experiences to 160 pastoral leaders (both ordained and lay) from 16 parishes in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston (RCAB). The cohort-based project includes eight multilingual educational sessions: four workshops, a retreat, an annual ministry renewal day, an evaluation summit, and an online course. The grant also provides opportunities for theological and pastoral engagement at the parish-level for Boston College Clough School of Theology and Ministry (CSTM) faculty and students, as well as possibilities for candidates from the RCAB to pursue degree programs at the CSTM. All activities will encourage efforts toward the implementation of the kind of pastoral leadership described by the recent synod. This initiative ultimately aligns with the CSTM's strategic vision and RCAB's call to implement the fruits of the synod locally, empowering church leaders to embody communion, participation, and mission at all levels of pastoral life.
