April 13, 2022Fr. Patrick Boland and Br. Ambrose Fryer have been selected to attend a summer leadership program in Rome, Italy, from July 10-22. This program is jointly sponsored by the Monastic Institute of the Pontifical University of Sant'Anselmo and the Institute of Management and Strategy at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland. This program is intended for monks, nuns and lay people in positions of leadership or management in monastic communities worldwide. The goals of the LRB program include supporting monks and nuns in positions of leadership to grow: 1-more responsible – through a deeper understanding of what is expected from a leader in a monastic context; 2-more responsive – thanks to the ability to combine the wisdom of the rule, the social doctrine of the church and the science of management and leadership in new and original ways; and 3-more competent – thanks to proven leadership techniques learned from top professionals in the field and adapted to a monastic context. Fr. Patrick and Br. Ambrose were chosen for this honor from over 200 applications from around the world with a select 30 chosen for each summer program. They will bring back their education and experience to be of service to Subiaco in the years to come. A hearty congratulations to them as they head to the "Eternal City" for an amazing summer experience.
