PROGRAM OF CHURCH MANAGEMENT Dear Student, lam Msgr. Martin Schlag, Professor of Moral Theology at Pontifical University of the Holy Cross and Director of, the "Markets, Culture and Ethics" (MCE) Research Centre, | write you about the emerging need of Church to be exemplary in the stewardship of her material assets in order to give testimony to the Gospel. To respond to and raise awareness of this great need the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome has recently launched the Program of Church Management (PCM). PCM is designed to serve the Universal Church training priests, seminarians, religious and laity for exemplary stewardship of the Church's temporal patrimony and to give witness to the gospel, according to Canon Law and ‘good managerial practices in conformity with the principles of Catholic Social Teaching. This formation is designed so that the Church might most authentically be a poor Church for the poor, and so that every Church institution might truly be a light for the world and a city on a hill (Mt 5:14). PCM aims to instillin our students, ‘especially our priests, a vocational generosity so that their tasks of pastoral management may complement and ot distract from their priestly ministry of offering the sacraments, preaching the Word of God, and spiritual accompaniment of the faithful while striving for personal holiness.
