Leadership Commitments

As an active lay person in my community, I would like to contribute as a philanthropist by connecting with the local community organizations that I am passionate about, the first one is Maggie’s Place. I am passionate about this organization because it caters to single moms and their children. I am passionate about this cause because it hits a personal story on my part. Such organizations like this one, The Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul have helped create safe environments for women and children in need. I would like to use my faith and energy to help these organizations, [...]

My leadership commitment is to form a community foundation (Causa Sui Foundation "CSF") in Yuma County Arizona. CSF's mission is to improve border communities through virtuous action rooted in Faith, Hope, and Love. By improving properties and removing blight, exterior improvement of the lived environment and interior improvement of those living in the community, will incrementally grow and support the other. As the interior and exterior improvements multiply, so too will the quality of life and conditions to promote human flourishing. This virtuous cycle of progress will breed Hope, Faith, and Love, and will help the region attract and retain young, talented people, the lifeblood [...]

Following my Leadership formation with TLI, I have been blessed and honored to reflect on my leadership obligation not just in church but in my profession. My commitment to God, the church and to my community is to serve God through my profession as a communications person, writer, and storyteller. I commit to use my time, presence, and workspace to evangelize through my behavior towards my peers, work deliverables and word of mouth. I commit to talk about my relationship with God boldly and confidently and to pray daily and often during work breaks. I have resolved to use half of [...]

TLI has been an illuminating and peace-filled experience for which I’m most grateful. The most significant takeaway from TLI has been my re-introduction to God the Holy Spirit. TLI has helped condition me to pray more often to the Holy Spirit and remain vigilant of God’s direction. To that end, I am committed to actively seek board membership in a local business group, local and national trade associations related to my vocation as well as a Catholic Retreat Center. My ultimate goal is to help create the first Chapter of Serra International in our diocese and state.

I commit to building a conscious Catholic community on a regenerative farm, a Catholic sanctuary embracing a regenerative way of living on earth and in our hearts. It will be built with zero waste materials, run on 100% clean energy, source its own water and food, and protect vast acres of deeply biodiverse rainforests and coastlines. We will build a chapel for people to worship, work with local fishermen and farmers to lift people out of poverty, provide families with a Catholic homeschooling cooperative, and allow fragile ecosystems to thrive through a faith-driven regenerative living model. I also commit to being [...]

I want to start out by saying how grateful I am for TLI. My heart has been awakened spiritually during the past five months because of this journey, which has also given me the professional abilities I need to do my job every day. I promise to use my resources to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone. Because of this, I decided to start where I am and demonstrate Jesus in the financial sphere through a financial literacy course for non-financial people based on the six principles of the Catholic Church and supported by several biblical passages. This endeavor [...]

My personal mission is to foster a movement of solidarity within my Catholic network, uniting believers in a shared purpose of supporting the Church's mission to boldly proclaim the truth without being threatened by the dependencies of this world. Drawing inspiration from Sirach 4:28, "Strive for the truth unto death, and the Lord will fight for you," and Galatians 6:2, "Carry each other's burdens...," I want to foster solidarity through which the necessary mental, spiritual, and physical support will be provided to fellow Catholics to fulfill the Great Commission.

As my leadership commitment, I pledge to dedicate my life to working for the Lord. As a Catholic Doctor, I vow to promote and defend human dignity by applying catholic bioethics directives. I acknowledge my vocation to a humanitarian mission. I will care for the poor so that the right of each person to basic health care is respected. By protecting the fundamental rights of all individuals, I will contribute to the common good. I will use my experience as a medical doctor to inform and dissuade requests for medical procedures contrary to the moral teachings of the Church. I will take on a more public speaking role [...]

I committed to living my life for Jesus as a member of the Catholic Church in 1977. My faith, my marriage, my family, and my work have always been ways to serve and grow in holiness. But I must admit it’s been difficult seeing some of the changes in today’s ever growing secular climate. Participating in the TLI program has been both refreshing and encouraging. The program is rich in content and faithful to authentic Church teaching, with a very balanced approach to faith and work. I am truly grateful to have met so many people who are dedicated to growing [...]

I will strive to love my wife and strengthen our marriage through prayer, self-sacrifice, fasting and developing mutual interest for the sake of unity and contentment. I am committed to building family faith and culture with my children, in-laws, and grandchildren through personal development with each of my family members showing genuine interest in each of them. Family celebration, adventure, working together and prayer are all opportunities to build strong family relationships. I will dedicate myself to building a culture of the Holy Spirit; evangelizing others through my conduct, words of counsel encouragement, and by listening. I will strive for servant [...]
