Catholic Leadership Institute’s journey for Priests

Why Eius?

What is Eius?

On the day of your ordination to the priesthood, you lay prostrate before the altar. You offered yourself completely to God and the Church. In that sacred moment, your heart burned with a singular mission and resolve: To be His.

Eius is Catholic Leadership Institute’s ongoing formation service that is carefully crafted to be a guiding force in a priest’s ministry, refocusing him to the resolve of his ordination and helping him navigate a complex world of ministry.

As a bishop, you now shepherd priests in this this vocation, ensuring that each member of your presbyterate is healthy and equipped for the needs of your diocese. Catholic Leadership Institute is equally committed to supporting priests with resources and training to effectively navigate the complexities of ministry in this apostolic age.

Eius offers a unique 9-month learning experience with in-person learning, virtual discussions, one-on-one leadership coaching, and self-paced learning. Eius helps priests develop new skills, leadership practices, and perspectives about themselves, one another, and the Lord.

Foundations Track

The 3-part learning track is rooted in identity.

Phase 1: Son of the Father Explore how your leadership is shaped by your baptismal identity, personality, values, and life experiences while also growing in emotional maturity.

Phase 2: Disciple of Jesus Embrace your call to discipleship and mission by cultivating spiritual and relational practices for evangelization and by learning to accompany others with empathy and cultural awareness.

“Something I’ve learned as an archbishop is that you have to make time for these kinds of programs because they are no longer a luxury, they’re a necessity. We’re fortunate enough to have Catholic Leadership Institute provide these programs. They’re well-developed and well-presented. If we think that we are finished and that there is nothing more to learn, we are short-circuiting ourselves and short-circuiting our ministry to our people… we owe it to our people to be refreshed and renewed.”

Most Reverend Gregory Hartmayer Archbishop of Atlanta

Phase 3: Priest of the Church Deepen your priestly vocation and relationship with the Church, strengthen your leadership and pastoral skills, and foster healthy friendships and spiritual fatherhood.
