We believe that the best way to form leaders is from ‘the inside out’ based on a biblical model of leadership. Leadership and formation become an enjoyable challenge!

The way in which this mission is carried out is constantly re-evaluated by the Senior Management Team, the Programme Management Committee and the Assessment Board in conjunction with other staff and participants. The evaluation is comprehensive and covers all aspects of the Institute.

Participants will find here a nourishing spiritual and community life, as well as stimulation for the mind and heart and care for the health of the body. Ours is truly a holistic approach.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Institute.

With all best wishes,

Fr Len Kofler MHM (Director)
