St. 博纳旺蒂尔 大学

帕多瓦计划


The 方济会的研究所's training program in Franciscan mission-based leadership.

帕多瓦计划 at St. 博纳旺蒂尔 大学 helps Franciscan institutions and ministries transmit the values of Saints Francis and Clare to new generations of leaders.

Infusing this mission into the daily operations of Franciscan schools, 医院, 静修中心, and social service programs requires competent leaders. Individuals completing the Padua Program will increase expertise in preservation and promotion of the Franciscan legacy. 

帕多瓦计划 was designed and directed four years ago by Sr. 玛格丽特·卡尼,0.S.F., former president of St. 博纳旺蒂尔 大学; Fr. 大卫B. 啊,女裁缝师.F.M. 帽., executive director of the 方济会的研究所; and Dr. Pauline Albert, a writer, researcher, teacher, and organizational specialist. It has educated five cohorts of participants from the fields of education, 卫生保健, 社会服务 and retreats.

Padua is a program of the 方济会的研究所 at St. 博纳旺蒂尔. The institute engages in three principal areas of scholarly concern: research, publication and workshops, and seminars and academic conferences on the Franciscan intellectual tradition.

帕多瓦计划 hosts its workshops in the 大学 Conference Center in Doyle Hall on the SBU campus.

The  Padua Program: An Overview

帕多瓦计划 is an educational program in Franciscan mission-based leadership for directors, managers and leaders of Franciscan institutions. It includes an on-campus workshop at St. 博纳旺蒂尔 大学 (Part One), as well as nine monthly seminars on Zoom.

The first part of the program is held on the campus of St. 博纳旺蒂尔 大学 over three days in July. All accommodations (an air-conditioned townhouse apartment and all meals) are included in the registration fee. Participants will have an opportunity to meet one another in person and begin the study of Franciscan spirituality and apply it to the latest research on leadership in both profit and not-for-profit enterprises.

This workshop will be an introduction to the Franciscan movement, its meaning and values. 这些会话, with appropriate readings, will guide participants through an understanding of the meaning of the Franciscan tradition, as proposed in the life stories of St. 弗朗西斯和圣. 阿西西的克莱尔.

Directed by some of the country’s best scholars in Franciscan studies, participants will study the unique features of Franciscan leadership as proposed by these two founders of the Franciscan movement. We will explore what it means to have a Franciscan mission and a Franciscan institutional vocation in the 21st century.

This next section of the course is devoted to monthly seminars that address the tasks and challenges of Franciscan mission-based leadership in various kinds of institutions (education, 医院, 社会服务, 等.) Participants will also investigate special topics such as:

  • What is Franciscan mission-based leadership?
  • Franciscan 任务 and Margins
  • Franciscan 任务 and Organizational Ethics
  • The Role of the 任务 Officer and relations through the Institution
  • Strategic Planning as a 任务 Leader
  • Franciscan Decision-Making Models
  • 任务 Assessment in your organization
