The mission of the Catherine of Siena Institute is to advance the intentional missionary discipleship of Catholics. We do this by: equipping parishes and dioceses to become centers of evangelization and formation, charism and vocational discernment, and on-going apostolic support for the laity; fostering the intentional discipleship of clergy, religious, and lay leaders so that they can be effective evangelizers and formators of the laity; making evangelization and formation resources rooted in the Church’s Tradition available to Catholic leaders and laity, and by creating new resources as needed; animating discussion, theological inquiry, and pastoral consultation throughout the Church regarding the evangelization, apostolic mission, and formation of the laity; and by collaborating with interested individuals, groups, and organizations in the service of this mission.
