2022 Cohort

I am a recent civil engineering graduate starting my career in project management for a construction company. My main commitment is to bring my faith and my leadership skills from TLI to grow in my career and my personal life through any challenges I may run into against my Catholic beliefs. Using my principals and solid foundation to be an example of Christ in my work, home and relationships. Along with this, I will be representing the Brazilian community in the Journeying Together (a national catholic intercultural encounter for ministries with youth and young adults) event this year. And finally, I [...]

It wasn’t until session six that my heart felt a deep call to begin my journey as a spiritual mentor with the English-speaking audience. Therefore, my leadership commitment is to offer life coaching sessions with the concept of spirituality. I commit to help entrepreneurs to identify their God’s gifts, their unique strengths and apply that into new businesses they will create. Thank you, TLI, for allowing me to find my passion and mission in life.

As I reflect on my time of learning and new formation through TLI, I know I am called to live my life in a magnanimous way. I feel called to share my story of being a Catholic, millennial, immigrant, professional Latina woman and how God has been present and faithful in my life. I commit to contributing to TLI’s new platform The Catholic Professional, where I can share my thoughts, experiences and resources with other young women. I also commit to connecting with Iskali, a youth Catholic organization and becoming a mentor for the next generation to be proud and live [...]

During my life, God has shown me his infinite love and mercy, putting wonderful people in my life, without them I would not have been able to achieve anything in my life. This year the Lord gave me the grace to participate in the TLI Leadership Program. In gratitude, my commitment is to use the talents that God gave me to help TLI with its digital marketing assets, as well as create an annual fundraising campaign for a charity in my country, so that through these two commitments, the work of God grows and spreads for his glory.

My leadership commitment is with God, myself, and my community. I will keep growing spiritually by seeking a certificate on Spirituality and Spiritual direction. Also, I will volunteer in a nonprofit organization called Literacy Connects. Further, I will take a leadership role and serve on a board. Finally, I am committed to promote the TLI program in my community.

In thanksgiving for the opportunity to deepen my knowledge of the Catholic faith as a member of TLI, my leadership commitment will be to serve as the Director of Outreach for Young Catholic Professional’s Nashville chapter. My efforts will be to build upon the growing YCP organization to broaden the scope of membership and sponsor support within the greater Nashville area. I aim to further the mission of TLI by bringing the good news of Jesus Christ to an ever-growing secular society and to ultimately enrich the surrounding communities through fellowship opportunities and sharing our personal relationship with God.

As a Catholic Leader, father, and friend - I feel my calling is to share with others the gift and beauty our faith is and how it's always striving to embrace, console & welcome all to a virtuous perspective in life. Pope Francis has declared that synodality is: "What God expects of the church in the 21st Century." In response to his call, I will seek board and volunteer opportunities within the Catholic non-profit arena that focuses on mission advancement through stewardship, development, and the long-term philanthropy aspirations of their constituents by bringing my lived experience and all of what I've [...]

I will use my technical experience to mentor, both through a nonprofit and personally, those seeking to better their lives by learning software development. Furthermore, I will seek to eventually be a board member of a nonprofit organization that seeks to help underserved populations receive technical training. I will fulfill these with all my heart and determination so that I can serve as a mirror of God’s love to those whom I’ll serve.

To support the mission and apostolate of the National Association of Catholic Families in the UK by being a member of their Executive Board and guiding/advising on spiritual/pastoral/catechetical activity. This will complement my membership of the Lords and Commons Family and Child Protection Group within the UK Government structures to advance the rights of parents as the primary educators and protectors of their children. Besides this, I shall continue to be part of the leadership and development of the Good Love Foundation in association with the Dicastery for Laity, Family & Life, which will be officially launched at the World Meeting [...]

I am committed to begin an apostolate within my parish where early childhood catholic families (kids 0-5 years) can find comfort, fellowship, and community. In my opinion, the domestic church is currently being under-served within young families in the Catholic community. We need to be empowered to raise our children confidently in the faith with the support of like-minded families.
