Managing a staff (volunteers or paid) gets more difficult as the team grows. You can’t be everywhere nor should you. Love this article from the Lighthouse Blog. hubs.ly/Q01WzWlx0 #leadershiptips #churchmanagement #catholicchurch

@tapounder I honestly like going into an office. While working from home can ease a few burdens, having that drive forces me to decompress. When I work from home I have to make that time by going for a walk or running errands.

Would you rather never have to commute to work again or have a 3 day weekend?

It’s VBS week at the parish. The hardest part is all the prep but once the week gets rolling it’s totally worth it. But you have to make it something more. How are you making VBS something more? #VBS #vacationbibleschool #childrenministry #youthministry #churchleadership

Very excited to spend the day with @phillyomy to onboard and guide ministry leaders who serve and walk with the next generation. Please pray for us and the goals that they set for the next year. #youthministry #leadershiphabits #leadershipbestpractices

When i win the lottery, i will make as many endowments as possible for Catholic Churches to have well paid and highly professional HR directors. I swear… after the crap that I’ve seen over the past 8 years of Ministry, it’s needed

@PappaSciarappa I’d advocate for some of that to go towards proper management training so you don’t burn out the HR. Praying you win that lottery.
