LEADERSHIP TRACKS

TCL 2008 will ROCK!
TCL features four leadership tracks, focusing on four specialized leadership roles:
  

  • Parish Leader Track: How to be an effective Core Team leader/member & have the confidence and skill to work with adult leaders in situations like Parish Pastoral Council meetings.

  • Meeting Leader Track: How to effectively lead various kinds of meetings, including setting agendas, managing discussions and activities, and getting things done.

  • Prayer Leader Track: How to effectively plan and lead various forms of prayer, at church, on retreats, at school, etc.

  • Peer Ministry Leader Track: How to be a peer leader of small groups like those that take place on retreats. Also, how to really help friends who are in trouble, grieving, depressed or at-risk.

  • Bergamo Center at beautiful Mt. St. John in Dayton, OH, with its trails, nature preserve, grotto, and comfortable, air-conditioned conference center. Sweet.

  • Focus on leadership for the "noble and authentic adventure of following the gospel."  Pope John Paul II's challenge to the Church and to youth will be one of the centerpieces of TCL this year.

  • Weekend time frame: TCL will be Thursday evening through Sunday late afternoon, concluding with a special closing liturgy on Sunday, Aug. 3, welcoming parents, families and friends.

  • Be a Leader: Teen leaders from all over the Archdiocese will be there. Don't miss out!
These heroic Christian leaders will take center stage in TCL 2007. Martin Luther King, Jr., Dorothy Day, Archbishop Oscar Romero and Mother Teresa were powerful leaders whose lives were utterly devoted to service. Their stories and lives will be threaded through the program to inspire us and guide us on the path to becoming Christ-like servant leaders.
