Client Story

Client Snapshot

St. Patrick’s Seminary is a Catholic institution dedicated to forming future priests through academic, spiritual, and pastoral development. Amid a senior cabinet transition, the Rector assumed an additional leadership role as local parish Pastor. A new Vice-Rector was appointed to help lead the new team and seminary operations.

The Opportunity

With dozens of projects underway and limited time for coordination, the Seminary needed a structured way for its senior leaders to align, clarify priorities, and surface organizational challenges.

Our Approach

Session 1:

  • Surfaced and categorized over 70 strategic and operational initiatives
  • Facilitated group prioritization and theme clustering

Session 2:

  • Mapped highest-priority initiatives from current state to actionable solutions
  • Identified gaps, clarified ownership, and needed supports

Outcomes

  • Prioritized 29 initiatives across 10 categories
  • Identified recurring challenge area themes
  • Uncovered key blockers, surfaced actionable solutions and identified key resources
  • Strengthened clarity, alignment, and strategic focus

President-Rector, St. Patrick’s Seminary

Strategic Alignment!

"Mia and Mary played an important role in facilitating strategic conversations amongst members of the senior leadership team as we transitioned from a period of crisis management to a period of robust expansion. Mia and Mary's assistance was all the more valuable because the transition also entailed changes to the senior leadership team. We are glad for our partnership with Manresa Collaboration."

Rev. Jerome Magat

Vice Rector, St. Patrick’s Seminary

From Priorities to Progress!

"We derived great value from working with Manresa Collaboration. Mia and Mary helped our senior leadership sync our vision, establish priorities, strategize near and long term goals, and gain a bird's eye view for the upcoming year. The experience gave us an opportunity to do self-reflection, celebrate progress, enumerate concrete goals, and articulate concerns. I highly recommend their facilitation to any organization desiring to cultivate a well-curated vision for the road ahead."
