Following this important discussion, the session transitioned into a 3-day leadership workshop facilitated by Br. Joseph McKee, F.M.S. The workshop, titled “Called to Spirit-Filled, Mission-Inspired Leadership in an Emerging World,” aims to guide major superiors in cultivating effective leadership skills in the ever-evolving landscape of the Church and society. Br. McKee, a respected Scottish Marist Brother and former Vicar General of his Congregation, brings a wealth of experience to the workshop. His previous facilitation of similar sessions has been well-received, earning appreciation for his insightful guidance.
The workshop is poised to provide major superiors with valuable insights into the evolving role of leadership in the context of the congregation’s mission. As they delve into the sessions led by Br. McKee, the major superiors are expected to gain practical tools and perspectives to navigate the challenges of contemporary leadership within the spirit and mission of their religious community.
