The Family Leadership Team should be comprised of at least one Director from the Mission Direct Ministries, the Mission Support Director, and may also include other Priests In Solidum or Parochial Vicars, at the discretion of the Moderator or One Pastor. Other members may be added to the team, based on critical talent or insight that is needed for success.
The Family Leadership Team, assembled and led by the Moderator, has the collective responsibility for developing and achieving the strategic objectives of the Family, especially as defined in the Missionary Strategic Plan. The function of the Family Leadership Team is to support the priests of the Family in coordinating the major areas of ministry in the Family and effectively communicating the plans, programs, and activities to the other clergy, parish leaders, and parishioners within the parishes of the Family.
