A three-day summit of talks, activities, and professional development

As the moral conscience and spiritual guide of the nation, the Catholic Church in the Philippines plays a pivotal role not only in leading the faithful but also in setting an example of integrity and responsibility. To effectively fulfill this role, it is crucial that the Church manages its resources with the utmost accountability and transparency. 

The Catholic Church in the Philippines stands at a crucial crossroads. In recent years, the Church's influence in political matters has declined. By committing to greater openness, the Church can restore its moral authority and ensure it remains a powerful voice that cannot be easily silenced.

This workshop on Transparency and Accountability in the Catholic Church is designed to empower Diocesan Bishops and Diocesan Oeconomi (financial administrators) with the tools needed to enhance transparency, strengthen trust among the faithful, and safeguard the Church’s moral and spiritual leadership in society. 

Why Should You Attend?

Increase Trust and Support: When parishes and dioceses commit to transparency, they not only safeguard their resources but also gain the trust and support of their communities. 

Prevent Financial Scandals: The Church’s reputation is a precious asset, but it is vulnerable to financial scandals that can arise from both malintent and simple oversight. By equipping yourself with the knowledge and tools provided in this workshop, you can prevent such scandals before they arise and protect the Church’s standing in the eyes of the faithful.

Be Proactive, Not Reactive: Transparency is most effective when it is established before a crisis occurs. It strengthens relationships and builds a reservoir of goodwill that can help the Church weather any storm. This workshop will guide you in implementing transparent practices now, ensuring that you are prepared for the challenges of tomorrow.

Now is the Time to Act

The Catholic Church in the Philippines still holds a vast reservoir of goodwill among the public, but every financial misstep erodes that trust. The time to act is now—before a crisis strikes. By attending this workshop, you will learn how to implement transparency in your diocese, making you a leader in safeguarding the Church’s integrity.

The upcoming workshop, scheduled for 21-23 January 2025, is designed to empower leaders within the Catholic Church by providing them with actionable insights to implement transparency within their organizations or areas of influence. Specific goals include:

Exploring Transparency from Every Angle

Our comprehensive approach will delve into the financial, accounting, cultural, and communicative aspects of transparency.

Championing a Culture of Transparency

One of the core aims of this workshop is to equip leaders with the tools and strategies necessary to foster a culture of transparency within their respective domains.

Providing a Practical 360-Degree Approach

This workshop isn't just theoretical; it's a hands-on, 360-degree journey towards implementing change. Participants will leave with a clear vision of their next steps, including key strategies and ideas for initiating meaningful transformation within their organizations.

Join Us on this Practical Path! 

We invite the Diocean Bishops and the Diocesan Oeconomi (Financial Officers) in the Philippines to embark on this practical and immersive journey towards fostering transparency within the Church. Together, we'll explore, strategize, and construct a blueprint for positive change, enriching our institutions and amplifying trust within our communities.
