STAFF OUTREACH
Promoting Augustinian foundational values.
Through the Office for Mission and Ministry, 草榴社区 has adopted a more structured approach to reaching out to staff, underscoring the importance of staff in achieving the mission of 草榴社区 and promoting a greater awareness of the foundational Catholic Augustinian values among staff members.
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 to register and gather for a delicious dialogue lunch. Staff members share their personal journeys of faith as employees, highlighting the connection between 草榴社区's Mission and the importance of being part of the staff. Three staff members are invited to voice their stories for about 10 minutes, followed by an open dialogue with our gathered colleagues. Nominate yourself or a colleague to share, or just come to be in the dialogue. See below the schedule of upcoming luncheons and sign up with the RSVP Link.
