Invert the pyramid as we live our values – putting the people we serve and front-line teams first.
We are called to create a culture and community where Jesus’ teachings come to life; assuring that all team members and the people we serve feel seen, heard, and valued.
We serve with compassion, respect, stewardship, and excellence.
Be aware the allure (and distraction) of scale – recognizing that God’s math is not human math.
Each life is sacred. We are called to be present one-person-at-a-time to the pain and longing that lies within each heart.
From there, the rest will follow…one heart, one person at a time.
Amplify the impact of our work – focusing on areas where our Catholic identity, our network and our century of services make us a unique and valued partner and provider.
The provision of human services is not a competition – there is plenty of need to go around. Each provider is our partner in God’s call to serve.
It is up to us to recognize, proclaim, and allow the Holy Spirit in to enliven our unique role in the call to serve. That is when we flourish in doing God’s work.
Regularly reflect – asking God, how are we called to serve, learn, and grow?
Impact for the people and communities we serve – by making a tangible difference in people’s lives and futures, individually and collectively, and by sharing those stories of mercy and hope – is how we witness through service.
As trusted stewards, we are called to challenge ourselves to do more and do better with the resources and people entrusted to our care.
