With the ever-increasing demands placed on our parish leaders, what can seminaries do to prepare priests to deal with the difficult issues they will face? In addition to formation in priestly spirituality and pastoral care, future pastors require lasting support as they discern the call to priesthood and prepare to enter parish leadership after ordination. Filled with valuable information for supporting seminarians in their ongoing formation, A Seminarian's Toolbox provides practical tools and guidance for achieving best practices in parish leadership. This book is a project of The Leadership Roundtable, a nonprofit organization of Catholic lay leaders, religious, and clergy working together to promote best practices in the formation of clergy and lay leaders in the United States.

This is a "how to" manual about doing the things a pastor is expected to know how to do: lead a funeral or wedding; premarital counseling; organize sermons; counsel church members. The Pastor's Toolbox is like Youtube videos that teach how to use the tools we own in our garages in order to get the best application. It will help especially men and women starting out in pastoral ministry. The many examples, outlines, and formats will give the new pastor a boost in doing things the church expects him/her to do. It also serves as a plan for training interns and mentoring unseasoned or rookie pastors.

La Caja de Herramientas Para los Líderes Pastorales de Hoy es una respuesta a los comentarios que hemos recibido en la Leadership Roundtable en los últimos años; la importancia de apoyar al siempre creciente clero hispanoparlante y líderes laicos en las mejores prácticas en el liderazgo parroquial. Hemos seleccionado varios temas del existente A Pastor’s Toolbox, Volúmenes 1 & 2, y hemos agregado nuevos trabajos para apoyar los líderes. Algunos de los temas incluyen Recursos Humanos, Visión, Gestión de Voluntarios, Pastoral Juvenil, Gestión de Riesgos y Administración y Recaudación de Fondos, por nombrar algunos. Todos estos capítulos han sido traducidos al español por el Padre Juan Molina y su equipo en el Mexican American Catholic College. En la Leadership Roundtable sentimos que esta obra será un gran complemento para la Iniciativa de Liderazgo Pastoral Latino, donde hemos facilitado muchas de nuestras capacitaciones de mejores prácticas de liderazgo en un formato bilingüe tanto para líderes clérigos como laicos. Aprende más sobre cómo la Leadership Roundtable ha apoyado la formación de clérigos y líderes laicos, en las mejores prácticas de liderazgo en www.LeadershipRoundtable.org.

What difference would Catholic Social Tradition make if it guided our personal and communal financial decision-making? The Sermon on the Mount reminds us of this fundamental decision-making when it comes to questions of faith and money: “No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth” (Matthew 6:24). In Counting the Cost, Clemens Sedmak and Kelli Reagan Hickey suggest a theological and spiritual discernment process for the everyday reality of budgeting and financial planning that explores the status of money and monetary values by reflecting on this gospel call. Counting the Cost explains how Catholic Social Teaching provides a framework for our thinking around finances by answering questions such as: What does this fundamental decision look like in times of financial scarcity and stewardship responsibilities? How do the attitudes that Jesus invites us into shape the ways we make financial decisions? And how can budgeting be and become a way of discipleship for individuals, parishes, and dioceses? The book includes a range of financial decision-making examples and reconstructs them as decisions about priorities, values, and commitments to respond to the world and its material realities in a gospel-inspired way.
