of developing collaborative lay leadership across the three
institutions: “The Vincentian Mission Institute is a wonderful
example of how the three United States based Vincentian-sponsored
universities can collaborate and share our most precious resource,
our dedicated and committed personnel. I am very excited
about the St. John’s University cohort – they embody the very best
of our Catholic and Vincentian mission."
