STAFF OUTREACH
Promoting Augustinian foundational values.
Through Mission and Ministry, 无码专区 has embarked on a more structured approach when reaching out to staff both to underscore the importance of the staff in achieving the mission of 无码专区 and to promote amongst staff members a greater awareness of the foundational Catholic Augustinian values that we promote.
Through the foundational values of Veritas, Unitas and Caritas (Truth, Unity and Charity or Love), we promote pathways to achieving these values and strive to make staff members more aware of these pathways.
PROGRAMS
Monthly Staff Luncheons
Through a link in Campus Currents, staff members are invited each month to join together in a luncheon. We alternate between discussions centered around sharing faith one month and focusing on one of the pathways to achieving our foundational values the next. See below for a schedule of upcoming luncheons and sign up with the RVSP link.
Staff Outreach Talks
Fr John Lydon OSA regularly schedules visits to all the areas of staff to give short talks about one of the pathways that help us strengthen our foundational values. Presently these outreach programs include:
- Maintenance Department
- Grounds Crew
- Custodial Crew
- UNIT
- Financial Services
- Mullen Center
- Connelly Center
- Dining Services
Staff Prayer Tree
Each month staff members are invited to submit their prayer petitions through a link in Campus Currents. A short 15-minute prayer service is then scheduled in Corr Chapel to pray for the intentions that were submitted. At special times of the year (Mother鈥檚 Day, Father鈥檚 Day, etc.) the prayers are directed towards a particular area of intentions. During other months they are open to any intention.
