Principled Ministry: A Guidebook for Catholic Church Leaders

With three decades of experience in fostering effective Church leadership, Loughlan Sofield, S.T., and Carroll Juliano, S.H.C.J., present Principled Ministry: A Guidebook for Catholic Church Leaders. This book goes beyond typical leadership manuals by sharing authentic examples of principled ministers actively serving the Catholic Church. Building on their foundational work, The Collaborative Leader, the authors introduce thirty essential principles for ministry that is spiritually sound and mission-driven. Topics include setting boundaries, facilitating rather than dominating, embracing conflict, and avoiding ambiguity. Through real-life stories, insightful analysis, and practical exercises, the book equips leaders to integrate these disciplines into diverse ministerial contexts. A complementary workbook is also available to support immediate application of these valuable lessons.
