Wielu ludzi, takich jak Tom Monaghan, założyciel sieci pizzerii Domino's, odnajduje swoją Górę Tabor w niespodziewanych momentach życia. Jego historia udowadnia, że „nie to, kim byłeś, ale to, kim możesz się stać, liczy się najbardziej”. Monaghan, mimo trudnego dzieciństwa, stał się miliarderem i wykorzystał swoje bogactwo, by wspierać wartości chrześcijańskie. Jego decyzja o sprzedaży sieci pizzerii i założeniu uczelni opartych na tych wartościach była wynikiem głębokiego duchowego doświadczenia po przeczytaniu książki "Chrześcijaństwo po prostu".Wreszcie dowiesz się, dlaczego modlitwa jest jak paliwo dla duszy – nie luksusem, a koniecznością. Nawet w najciemniejszych chwilach naszego życia, zawsze „istnieje wyjście w górę”, które prowadzi do przemienienia naszego serca i odkrycia prawdziwej chwały Boga w naszej codzienności.Podobnie jak lutnik Antonio Stradivari, który tworzył najpiękniejsze skrzypce świata, Bóg może przemienić nasze życie niezależnie od tego, jakie było wcześniej. Ważne jest, byśmy pozwolili Mu działać w naszym życiu, byśmy spotkali się z Nim na naszej własnej Górze Tabor i doświadczyli przemiany. Niech czas Wielkiego Postu będzie dla każdego z nas okazją do takiego spotkania i przemiany serca, byśmy mogli ujrzeć świat i siebie w nowym świetle.

This week, we are back with Part 2 of myConversation with John Rotche.  Every nowand then, I happen upon a franchise biography that is so compelling that a single episode of Franchise Today just can't do it justice. And, such is the case with John Rotche.  Last week we wrapped up approaching the Title Boxing Chapter of John's storied career and we'll pick back-up there today, but first a couple of reflections on some of what John shared with us last week.  John quipped in wonderment about how he, athlete guy turned entrepreneur, managed to have the good fortune to be taken under the wings of not one, but two IFA Entrepreneur's of the Year Domino's CEO Tom Monaghan and Service Brands International Founder, CEO and Serial Entrepreneur David McKinnon.  To that, I say this..., “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.  And oh, btw, it's no coincidence that IFA awarded John those same prestigious honors in 2011. So, let's pick back-up where we left off. Part 2: John Rotche, From Football to Franchising.

December 19th Show Notes December 19, 1934 – The New York Yankees send five players to the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League as partial compensation for the acquisition of Joe DiMaggio. The Yankees had previously paid $25,000 for the future Hall of Famer. DiMaggio will play one more season in the PCL before reporting to the Yankees in 1936. In ‘36, DiMaggio will hit .323 with 125 RBIs in helping the Yankees to a World Series title.December 19, 1976 — A single-engine Piper Cherokee plane crashes into the upper deck of Baltimore's Memorial Stadium, home of the Orioles, injuring the pilot and three others. Minutes prior to the mishap, the plane had buzzed the stadium during the final moments of the Steelers' playoff victory over the Colts. The pilot of the Piper Cherokee was 33-year-old Donald Kroner. Kroner served three months of a two-year sentence for malicious destruction of property and violation of aviation ordinances.Kroner had been arrested prior to the Stadium incident for making threats against former Colt Bill Pellington. This included Kroner being accused of dropping a bottle and toilet paper from his plane onto the roof of Pellington's Timonium restaurant. According to news reports, Kroner was upset over being thrown out of the restaurant. Kroner died in 2013.Kroner had been fired as an MTA bus driver the day before the crash. He also had been a flight instructor and, according to some accounts, had worked as an air traffic controller. In 1980, Kroner was charged with stealing a Greyhound bus from Dulles International Airport. December 19, 1990 — At a press conference, Tiger management and WJR announce 1991 will be Ernie Harwell's 32nd and final season in the broadcast booth. The dismissal of the Motor City's popular play-by-play announcer starts a furor among fans, which includes a threatened boycott of Domino's Pizza, a business of club owner Tom Monaghan, and the rise of the slogan, “Say It Ain't So, Bo”, which appears on bumper stickers and T-shirts all over Detroit, referring to Bo Schembechler, the team president and former University of Michigan football coach."[Harwell's situation is] not going to change no matter how much clamor is made over it," said team president Bo Schembechler. The situation caused outrage so much that some made threats of violence against Schembechler. Some, such as Mitch Albom, blamed the situation causing as much negative feeling as it did on WJR executive Jim Long who was the one who pushed the quick, no severance pay removal of Harwell.[6] The movement in favor of keeping Harwell was so strong that even billboards in favor of his remaining were put up.[7] Rick Rizzs was hired away from the Seattle...

December 19th Show Notes December 19, 1934 – The New York Yankees send five players to the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League as partial compensation for the acquisition of Joe DiMaggio. The Yankees had previously paid $25,000 for the future Hall of Famer. DiMaggio will play one more season in the PCL before reporting to the Yankees in 1936. In ‘36, DiMaggio will hit .323 with 125 RBIs in helping the Yankees to a World Series title. December 19, 1976 — A single-engine Piper Cherokee plane crashes into the upper deck of Baltimore's Memorial Stadium, home of the Orioles, injuring the pilot and three others. Minutes prior to the mishap, the plane had buzzed the stadium during the final moments of the Steelers' playoff victory over the Colts.   The pilot of the Piper Cherokee was 33-year-old Donald Kroner. Kroner served three months of a two-year sentence for malicious destruction of property and violation of aviation ordinances. Kroner had been arrested prior to the Stadium incident for making threats against former Colt Bill Pellington. This included Kroner being accused of dropping a bottle and toilet paper from his plane onto the roof of Pellington's Timonium restaurant. According to news reports, Kroner was upset over being thrown out of the restaurant. Kroner died in 2013. Kroner had been fired as an MTA bus driver the day before the crash. He also had been a flight instructor and, according to some accounts, had worked as an air traffic controller. In 1980, Kroner was charged with stealing a Greyhound bus from Dulles International Airport. December 19, 1990 — At a press conference, Tiger management and WJR announce 1991 will be Ernie Harwell's 32nd and final season in the broadcast booth. The dismissal of the Motor City's popular play-by-play announcer starts a furor among fans, which includes a threatened boycott of Domino's Pizza, a business of club owner Tom Monaghan, and the rise of the slogan, “Say It Ain't So, Bo”, which appears on bumper stickers and T-shirts all over Detroit, referring to Bo Schembechler, the team president and former University of Michigan football coach. "[Harwell's situation is] not going to change no matter how much clamor is made over it," said team president Bo Schembechler. The situation caused outrage so much that some made threats of violence against Schembechler. Some, such as Mitch Albom, blamed the situation causing as much negative feeling as it did on WJR executive Jim Long who was the one who pushed the quick, no severance pay removal of Harwell.[6] The movement in favor of keeping Harwell was so strong that even billboards in favor of his remaining were put up.[7] Rick Rizzs was hired away from the Seattle Mariners to replace Harwell in 1992, teaming with Bob Rathbun. Harwell worked a part-time schedule for the California Angels in 1992. The following year, the Tigers were purchased by Mike Ilitch, who made it one of his first priorities to bring Harwell back. In 1993, Harwell teamed with Rizzs and Rathbun on the WJR broadcasts, calling play-by-play of the middle innings in each game. From 1994 to 1998, Harwell called television broadcasts for the Tigers on PASS Sports and later WKBD-TV. In 1999, he resumed full-time radio duties with the team, swapping roles with Frank Beckmann (who had replaced Rizzs in the radio booth following the 1994 season), teaming with analyst Jim Price, and continuing in that role even as the team's radio rights changed from WJR to WXYT in 2001. During spring training in 2002, Harwell announced that he would retire at the end of the season; his final broadcast came on September 29, 2002. Dan Dickerson, who had joined Harwell and Price in 2000, took over as the Tigers' lead radio voice. Died: December 19, 2008 in Los Angeles, CA Dock Ellis, a solid pitcher for the Bucs, is best known for his performance on June 12, 1970, when he would forever etch his name in major league baseball history. That night Dock, despite the fact he walked eight batters, no-hit the San Diego Padres 2-0 on the strength of two Willie Stargell home runs. Also that night, which he admitted later on, was the fact that Ellis pitched his gem while on LSD. Welcome to the wild and bizarre world of Dock Ellis. He had a 14-3 record at the 1971 All-Star break, but famously said baseball wouldn't let two soul brothers – he and Vida Blue – start the AS game. Ellis ended up surrendering Reggie Jackson's titanic blast at Tiger Stadium. He was also the starter when the Pirates become the first team to start 9 black players. Ellis, never one to avoid controversy, also hit the first three Reds on May 1, 1974 because he felt his team was lackluster. Ellis will eventually end up a Yankee in ‘76 and win comeback player of year after winning 17 games. Doc Finished up with 138 wins vs. 119 loses and a 3.46 ERA. In 1955, he broke Ty Cobb's record to become the youngest player to win a batting title. Al Kaline was one day younger in 1955 than Cobb had been in 1907, when “The Georgia Peach” won his first title. Despite a history of injuries, he tied Tris Speaker's record of 100+ games in the outfield for 19+ seasons. A future Hall of Famer, Kaline was born on December 19, 1934, in Baltimore, Maryland. In his 22-year career (1953-1974), the outstanding right fielder had 3007 hits, 399 HR, 1582 RBI, 1622 runs, .297 BA, .376 OBP, .480 Slg., & .855 OPS. In the 1968 World Series, Kaline batted .379 with 11 hits, which included two home runs.   Playing his entire career with the Detroit Tigers, his nickname was Mr. Tiger. He was an All-Star in 15 seasons, won 10 Gold Glove Awards, won a batting title in 1955, and was a member of the 1968 World Series champions. His uniform #6 is retired by the Tigers. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1980 (88.3% on the 1st ballot).

Tom y James Monaghan no tuvieron una infancia fácil. Nacen en los años 30, y siendo niños, su padre fallece. Su madre no tiene capacidad para hacerse cargo de ellos, así que se ve obligada a dejar a sus hijos en un orfanato católico gestionado por monjas polacas. El verdadero protagonista de la historia es Tom. No es un gran estudiante, pero sí muestra talento para las matemáticas. Cierra su etapa escolar sin pena ni gloria, pero sí despierta en él el deseo de ir a la universidad. Pero en ese momento no se ve aún preparado, así que se alista en el ejercito.En 1960, tras tres años como Marine, regresa a Michigan, con las ideas más claras, y ya con la intención de estudiar Arquitectura. Pero como no tenía suficiente dinero para pagar la carrera, decide montar un negocio que le permita lograr ingresos. Se alía con su hermano, y compran una pequeña pizzería, DomiNicks (los dueños se llamaban Dominic y Nick), que está al lado del campus universitario. Les cuesta 900 dólares. Gestionaban el negocio entre los dos hermanos, a turnos. Y creían que tenían una gran idea entre manos para triunfar: repartir las pizzas a domicilio gratis. Hoy cualquier negocio ofrece llevar su comida a la puerta de tu casa, pero a principios de los 60 esto era todo un descubrimiento. El problema es que no tenían el sistema pulido del todo, y el negocio no acababa de arrancar. James, que aún mantenía su trabajo de cartero, se desanima y decide venderle su mitad del negocio a su hermano. Como no tiene suficiente dinero, Tom le ofrece a cambio el Volkswagen Beetle de segunda mano que utilizaban para los repartos a domicilio. Y quedan en paz. Tom se queda el 100% de la pizzería y James un coche de segunda mano.Ya al frente del negocio en solitario, Tom empieza a tomar decisiones importantes para el negocio. Insiste en los envíos a domicilio, elimina el servicio de atención en las mesas, y suprime todos los platos del menú que no estuvieran relacionados con las pizzas. Se centra al 100% en la elaboración y reparto de las pizzas.Ahí ya el negocio empieza a funcionar, y Tom adquiere otras dos pizzerías más en los alrededores del campus universitario. En ese momento, el dueño original de DomiNick's le pide que deje de usar ese nombre, así que Tom, a partir de un comentario de un repartidor, decide llamar a sus pizzerías Domino's. Y crea un logo que es una ficha de dominó con tres puntos, que representan a los tres locales que en aquel momento tiene la compañía.El negocio empieza a hacerse popular, las ventas son excelentes, así que Tom decide franquiciar sus pizzerías para seguir creciendo. Entre 1965 y 1968 inauguran 8 locales franquiciados, siempre mirando que estuvieran cerca de centros universitarios, una tendencia que ha tratado de mantener hasta nuestros días. En 1970, diez años después de fundar la compañía, ya cuentan con más de 200 establecimientos. En su apuesta constante por la innovación, desarrollan un sistema para hacer las cajas de pizza más rápido y más resistentes, con carton más gordo, que facilita que las pizzas se mantengan calientes más tiempo, no se estropéen con el envío, y además permite apilarlas, permitiendo más repartos en cada viaje. Era el nacimiento del reparto de pizza moderno.Apasionado del marketing, en 1973 lanzan una campaña rompedora: si no te entregan la pizza en media hora, te sale gratis. Fue un éxito publicitario para la marca. Tanto, que se acabó convirtiendo en eslogan de la compañía. La medida se prolongó hasta los 90, cuando fue retirada debido a las múltiples quejas sobre la conducción temeraria de los repartidores para poder cumplir el objetivo.Con sus sitema de entrega optimizado, y con la fama que había ido ganando, las tiendas empiezan a expandirse por todo Estados Unidos. Se reparte el podio del sector con Pizza Hut y Little Caesars Pizza. En 1983 la compañía, con más de 1.000 establecimientos, da el salto al exterior, y abre sus primeras franquicias en el extranjero, en concreto, en Canadá y en Australia. Sería la primera de muchas. En los siguientes años abren locales en Japón, Haiti, República Dominicana, India, Colombia, México... eran imparables.Por aquella época Tom Monaghan ya era inmensamente rico. Tenía barcos, una colección de coches clásicos, incluyendo un Bugatti Royal por el que pagó 8 millones de dólares, un avión, obras de arte... y hasta se compró el equipo de baseball de Detroit, los Tigers, que un año después ganaron las series mundiales. Apasionado de la arquitectura, recordemos que en un principio todo nace para financiar el estudio de esa carrera, es un gran seguidor de Frank Lloyd Wright, construye la sede de Domino's a imagen y semejanza de su obra. También Tom inicia la construcción de una mansión siguiendo el mismo estilo.Pero a finales de la década de los 80 se produce el despertar religioso de Tom Monaghan. Se replantea su estilo de vida, la acumulación de riqueza, el ego... "Me di cuenta de que si el mayor de los pecados es el orgullo, yo era el más pecador del mundo", contó. Paralizó la construcción de su mansión, que hoy sigue a medio construir, vendió el equipo de baseball, precisamente a su rival, el dueño de Little Caesar Pizza, se deshizo de sus barcos, su avión, su coche...Mientras la compañía seguía creciendo a un ritmo increíble, hasta alcanzar los 1.000 establecimientos en el mundo en 1995, Tom seguía planteándose su estilo de vida. Así, en 1998, decide vender la compañía a un fondo de inversión por 1.000 millones de dólares.Desde entonces, dedicó su vida a promover causas católicas, haciendo especial hincapié en los movimientos provida, a los que ha donado millones y millones de dólares. También promueve la asistencia diaria a misa, la confesión y el rezo del rosario. Ha fundado colegios católicos por todo Estados Unidos, y también dos universidades. Hasta cuenta con un fondo de inversión centrado inversiones católicas y labores humanitarias. A sus 84 años, ha donado más de 500 millones a organizaciones católicas, y sigue comprometido a gastar toda su fortuna en estos movimientos.Ya sin Tom, Domino's no dejó de crecer. En 2004 empezó a cotizar en bolsa. Hoy en día cuenta con más de 6.000 pizzerías en Estados Unidos y unas 15.000 en todo el mundo. Da trabajo a casi 300.000 personas. Y es una de las cadenas de franquicias más grandes y más rentables que existen. ¿Y qué fue de James? Después de vender su parte de Domino's a cambio de un Volkswagen Escarabajo, siguió trabajando como cartero durante unos años. En los 70 empezó a trabajar como guardia de seguridad, y después como electricista en un distrito escolar, hasta su jubilación. Falleció en 2020.

In den späten 1980ern lebt Domino´s-Gründer Tom Monaghan auf großem Fuß. Nach vielen harten Jahren ist er endlich oben angekommen. Er ist Milliardär und das zeigt er auch – mit teuren Statussymbolen und dem entsprechenden Lebensstil.Was er jedoch nicht weiß: Pizza Hut plant einen Gegenschlag, der es in sich hat und der den Lieferdienst-Pionier ins Wanken bringen wird.Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://art19.com/privacy.

The 80's were a strange time. It seems like every fast food chain had it's own quirky mascot that sooner or later took a strangle hold of pop culture. Eventually these mascots would appear on cereals, tv shows, toy stores, comic books and video games. Dominos Pizza however, had the absolute KING of these goofy mascots.....THE NOID. The Noid was a buck toothed trouble maker with (for whatever reason) a red bunny suit on who would try  RUIN your PIZZA or keep the good people at Dominos from delivery your food in 30 minutes or Less! "How Rude" -Michelle Tanner. The long and short of it...he was an annoying ass hole that sold a lot of Pizza and Merch. However, one man....Kenneth Lamar Noid, believed there was something more to this gimmick than selling bargain pies. Kenneth Lamar Noid believed that Dominos' CEO, Tom Monaghan, created and implemented The Noid and the "Avoid the Noid" catch phrase to harass him personally. He also believed Kenneth would break in to his home at night, rearrange his belongings, watch him sleep, and steal his food.....yikes! To see how this story ends....you could watch a youtube video (preferably ours) BUT maybe you should do the Lord's work and listen to us today!!

Domino's was started in 1960 and grew to be the largest independent restaurant business on the planet.  Started by an orphan who was swindled out his life savings.  This is a true rags to riches story.  Sometimes you just need to hang in there and not chicken out. David Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from Mom and Pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode word from our sponsor, which is... Well it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Armadura Ad] David Young: Stephen, it's pizza day. Is that right? Stephen Semple: 30 minutes or free, baby. David Young: It sounds like Domino's. Huh? Stephen Semple: Domino's, all right. Stephen Semple: Yeah, Domino's is interesting. It was founded by Tom Monaghan in Michigan, back in 1960. In the '80s, he sold it to an investment place and he sold it for about a billion dollars. David Young: About a billion? Stephen Semple: About a billion. So he did okay with his investment but there's kind of a couple of funny twists in there, including some things with his brother. I would not relish Christmas with him and his brother because basically, it happened in 1960s, his brother was working at this pizza store that was actually called DomiNick's. And it went under, and Tom and his brother borrowed 500 bucks. They scraped together 500 bucks for the down payment to buy the store. So they buy the store and it was not an immediate success. So, you know how we talk a lot of times around the chickening out period in terms of- David Young: Mm-hmm (affirmative) Stephen Semple: And you're working on it and people chicken out. How long does it usually take for the chickening out period to happen, Dave? One more time in the client. David Young: Three to four months usually. Stephen Semple: Yeah, it really becomes strong at the six-month period, right? Well, at the six-month period, his brother said "I'm out, I can't do this any longer. It's just not working" and so basically, he bought his brother out by giving him... They had this old VW Beetle that they use for delivery and that's basically what he bought his brother out with. So he bought his brother out with basically this car and he went on to become a billionaire. How would you like those Christmas dinners? David Young: Let's say the guy made his choice. Stephen Semple: Yeah, I know. But still, it'd be one of those weird ones but here's the thing about Domino's that's really interesting, is when they bought the store, the store was small and that really limited the amount- like pizza stores in those days were limited by the number of seats you had and how quickly you could turn those seats. And Tom had a really interesting background. He learned something in the newspaper business. He grew up really poor, he grew up in foster homes and the like. He couldn't afford university so he enrolled in the Marines, during the time he was in the Marines, he saved money for university, and then he got swindled, he got swindled the money. So he never ended up being able to go to university, so he needed to make money. Stephen Semple: He basically took over a newspaper stand and this is what he learned in the newspaper stand, he said "wait a minute. I can't only sell so many newspapers from a stand. I can sell a lot more newspapers if I deliver door-to-door" and he had heard about somebody else in another community doing door-to-door. So he started delivering newspapers door-to-door and this learning stayed with him because the key was door-to-door, do it fast. If you can do it fast you can make a lot of money doing door-to-door delivery.

Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Fr. Chris O'Connor Today's guest(s): Fr. Jeremy St. Martin, Director of the Archdiocese of Boston's Deaf Apostolate, and John Hunt, Executive Director of Legatus International Today's topics: Fr. Jeremy St. Martin and his ministry to deaf Catholics; Legatus' ministry to Catholic CEOs and their spouses Summary of today's show: Fr. Jeremy St. Martin tells Scot and Fr. Chris about how he came to the priesthood and the unexpected call to minister to the deaf; as well as all the ways that the Deaf Apostolate works to allow the hearing-impaired to take part fully in the life of the Church. Also, John Hunt of Legatus discusses their ministry to Catholic business executives that recognizes their unique contributions and impact on the culture. 1st segment: Scot asked Fr. Chris how St. John Seminary memorialized September 11. Fr. Chris said they had a beautiful Mass wit the amazing Scriptures for this past Sunday which challenge all of us in the area of forgiveness. Fr. Chris said he was in Washington, DC, on 9/11/01 and he was reminded of the same clear, blu skies. He reflect on praying for the victims and their families. He was also reminded of all the many people who responded to help. He saw at St. Anthony's Shrine this past weekend that they had a photo of Fr. Mychal Judge, the Franciscan priest who was a NY fire chaplain who died during the response to the attacks. Scot noted that his kids asked why we still talk about it if it happened 10 years ago? He told them that we don't want to forget, not just the evil acts, but also the heroism as well as the lesson to live life to fullest and enjoy the many blessings God has given us. Fr. Chris also said he was at Sacred Heart Parish in East Boston for a Portuguese festival of the Holy Spirit where the children receive a special blessing. Scot said one of the 23 languages the Mass is celebrated in at the Archdiocese of Boston is American Sign Language. Fr. Jeremy St. Martin is the director of the Deaf Apostolate. 2nd segment: Scot and Fr. Chris welcome Fr. Jeremy St. Martin to the show. Scot asked him how God planted the seed that led to his ordination. Fr. Jeremy said his parents became very active in the Church when he was about 6 or 7 years old. The change he saw in his parents profoundly affected him at that time. He recalls going to a new parish at the time and he wasn't too impressed by what he saw, although when his grandparents came with them, that caught his attention. While his mother and her mother-in-law were as different as could be, he saw them change in their relationship to one another during the Eucharistic Prayer of the Mass. This was his first experience of the Mass and he was intrigued by what was happening. As time went on, he became an altar server and got to know the elderly priest who was serving the parish in Little Compton, Rhode Island. Seeing the devotion and simple joy of the old priest, Fr. Jeremy at the time wondered if that's what God was calling him to. As he went to college, it became harder to continue to practice his faith. He had two friends who were the first in his group of friends to fall in love together and he remembered seeing them together after Mass one Sunday and realizing that they would one day be married and have children. And as he thought about it, he wondered who would baptize the children and it occurred to him that it might be him. A priest once said you have to see if you have the Health, Holiness, Head, and Heart. You don't have to be perfect in every way, but you have to be doing okay with all of them. Heart in particular is a desire for the salvation of souls. The priest then said people considering vocations should get a regular confessor. Fr. Jeremy was still discerning at this time. The confessor didn't say anything in any of their meetings for a whole year, and at the end of the year, Fr. Jeremy confronted him and asked him what he thought. He finally told him that he thought he'd be a great priest. Fr. Jeremy looked at many different religious orders because he thought he'd need that community, but he discovered in the Archdiocese of Boston that there is in fact a lot of fraternal support among the priests. He heard that you have to grow where you are planted, and having lived in Boston many years, he entered St. John's Seminary. Scot asked Fr. Jeremy what led him to want to serve deaf Catholics. He was ordained in 2002 and was assigned to St. Cecilia's in Ashland. Three years in to the assignment, the pastor told him that the archdiocese called and they wanted him to start studying for the last two years of his assignment. They wanted him to study to serve the deaf. This came out of left field. He had never had any deaf friends or family and didn't know any sign language. But now he was to become the new director of the deaf apostolate, including providing assistance to a deaf seminarian in formation, now Fr. Shawn Carey, the first deaf priest for the Archdiocese of Boston. Of course, Fr. Jeremy said Yes, but he did ask why him and he was told there was no one else and he was naturally expressive, which helps with being a deaf interpreter. IT also needs to be someone who is creative because deaf ministry is very different from regular parish ministry because there isn't a lot of institutional experience in the archdiocese. Fr. Chris said Fr. Jeremy was an undergrad at Mass. College of Art and Design and majored in applying new technology to the arts. It had a heavy emphasis on the performing arts. His training could help him manage the stage at an opera, for example, with all the technical requirements. It helped him prepare to stand before a crowd and present himself in public without being overly shy. Fr. Chris said Fr. Jeremy is often seen on CatholicTV, signing for the Cardinal or other people at major events and Masses. He asked Fr. Jeremy the greatest joys of serving the deaf community. It is seeing the community have the Gospel take root in them and share it with each other. Many of them had never heard the saving mysteries of the faith because of the isolation. At World Youth Day, they coordinated with deaf ministries throughout Canada and the US to go together to Madrid and WYD brings young deaf people from all over the world together and meet each other. It was an enormous amount of work for both the leaders and the pilgrims. They often had to be go through extra obstacles, like arriving early for special screening. It's also the case that many of the deaf have other physical challenges as well. In the end, one of the young people said that they felt like a member of the Body of Christ. For a deaf person to say that is even more surprising given that it is a Christian idiom and very abstract. Scot said Fr. Jeremy signs with such joy and it's clear he loves this ministry. It's helped Scot to appreciate this ministry and how much effort they take to include everyone. Fr. Shawn Carey signs the Mass when he celebrates it at the Pastoral Center. It's amazing how the God's will gets expressed through the bishop as the ministry seems a good fit with Fr. Jeremy's skills and temperament. 3rd segment: Scot asked about the activities of the deaf apostolate. Sacred Heart in Newton has a Mass in sign language every Sunday at 10:30 and on holy days. Fr. Chris said in regards to the directions for celebrating the Mass, sometimes they say the priest should “audibly say” something. He asked how that works. In canon law, there is a canon that goes back to the First Council of Orange that said deaf people can exchange marriage vows in clear sign, so it was a recognition that sign language is a true language in which sacramental grace can be conveyed. There's also another canon which says a deaf person can request an interpreter in confession which is interesting regarding the seal of confession. It recognizes that they are real professionals capable of being discrete. So what the Church asks of deaf ministries is that they take the responsibility for making up for what is lacking for a person who is deaf because the ordinary situation of the Church is set up for the hearing. Fr. Jeremy said some direction for Mass (“rubric”) have the priest say things inaudibly, doesn't say it, or says it audibly. Deaf ministry proclaims that which needs to be proclaimed to those who can't hear in ways that they can hear. Scot said it's interesting to observe Fr. Carey and see how clear it is what he is doing and praying at the same time that hearing priests would be praying aloud. It is a different form of language and communication, but it is indeed language and communication. It's not unlike attending Mass in another country and hearing the Mass prayed in a different language there. Fr. Jeremy said the apostolate also provides hospital coverage for the whole archdiocese, providing ministry to the sick and dying as well as to the deaf families and friends. They also provide assistance in weddings and funerals, even if it's just for those who are attending and deaf. They also provide marriage preparation and RCIA, which is a big need because many deaf people couldn't find good access to catechetical formation early in life. They also work with deaf youth. A full list of their ministries is on their website as well as many videos in which many blogs are provided in American Sign Language. 4th segment: Joining us from Ave Maria, Florida, is John Hunt of Legatus. Scot asked him about the organization as an outreach to Catholic business executives. It is celebrating its 25th anniversary year. It was founded by Tom Monaghan, founder of Domino's Pizza, after a meeting with Pope John Paul II where he felt prompted by the Holy Spirit to assist in helping the laity to drive the new evangelization of the 21st century. He immediately founded the organization upon his return to the US. He saw the value of the role of business leaders in the life of the Church. They are in a unique position to have an impact for good on the culture and specifically on those who are employed them and their families, people they do business with, and their customers. Scot said John was a business CEO before working for Legatus. John said he was invited to join by a member who thought he and his wife would enjoy the monthly get-togethers. He had no idea what to expect before attending an event. The typical gathering includes the Rosary, the Mass, dinner, and a speaker. John said business people approach the issues of the marketplace and the Church in a highly structured and ordered way as they approach their business decisions, so when they are together with others of like mind who are serving the Church, you realize you are in friendly company with people in a unique position to do good for society. John said there is a sense of camaraderie. One may think of a Legatus chapter as something like a support group, in the best sense of the word. They are people who want to do the right thing and are reinforced in that desire by those they surround themselves with at their gatherings. Personally, he's been strengthened in his faith by the example he's seen in his own Chicago chapter and as executive director. There are 75 chapters in the US and outside the country. There are about 2,000 CEO members and in most cases their spouses. Spouses are full members along with their husbands or wives, so there are about 4,000 members. They hope to grow the organization by about 50% over the next few years. Scot said there Legatus chapter in Boston, in Providence, and in Western Mass. that meets in the Springfield area. The Boston chapter's next meeting is September 28 and Lou Lataif, a former executive of Ford Motor Company and a professor at Boston University. The meeting will be at the Pastoral Center in Braintree at 5:30pm. John said Lou Lataif is a longtime friend and will be a good kickoff speaker for Legatus. He said the Boston schedule through next year includes Tom Monaghan; John Garvey, president of Catholic University of America; George Weigel; Michael Novak; Tom Peterson of Catholics Come Home; Tim Flanagan of Catholic Leadership Institute; Archbishop Tim Broglio of the Military Archdiocese; and Cardinal Seán. John said interested people should take a look at Legatus as a way to enhance the CEO and their spouse's faith life. Interested people can call 781-369-5048 or send an email to .

**Today's host(s):** Scot Landry  **Today's guest(s):** Melissa Squarcia, Senior Communications for the Catholic Leadership Institute * [Catholic Leadership Institute](http://www.catholicleaders.org/) **Today's topics:** Catholic Leadership Institute **Summary of today's show:** Melissa Squarcia joins Scot to talk about the ministry of the Catholic Leadership Institute, which prepares clergy and lay leaders for leadership in the Church as well as assists dioceses in creating a strategic vision and priorities. As priests become pastors sooner after ordination and as they are spread more thin, CLI's programs help them work more efficiently in order to accomplish the ministry goals at the heart of their vocations. **1st segment:** Scot began by asking how we prepare our priests, deacons, and lay leaders for the Church of the 21st century. Parishes keep getting fewer and bigger and priests have more and more asked of them. And they didn't always get the tools to lead in the seminary. The Catholic Leadership Institute is trying to help prepare priests and laity for more effective leadership in the Church and working with bishops and dioceses with strategic planning. Scot welcomed Melissa Squarcia to the show. He asked how she came to CLI. She started about 4 years ago and before that worked for the local NBC affiliate in Philadelphia. They were looking for a communications coordinator to help share the good news about their ministry. CLI is 20 years old this year. Scot said it's amazing what one person inspired in prayer can accomplish. The founder is Tim Flanagan and the co-founder as the late Fr. Charles Pfeffer. Originally they worked with youth and young adults, but as they started looking at where else they could work to assist the Church, they heard priests saying to the young people that they didn't have the time to implement the good ideas. So they started Good Leaders, Good Shepherds, developing a curriculum that meshes the best of corporate leadership training with the teachings of the Church. They started in 2006 and are now in 60 dioceses nationwide, about 1 in every 3 in the US. Scot was impressed that Flanagan, who had a background that included in corporate leadership training, saw the need in the Church and committed to doing something about it. Melissa said the current president Matt Manion left a very lucrative and powerful position to come to CLI to serve the Church. Manion's arrival allowed Flanagan to develop a board of directors, which aids in getting CLI out to a wider audience, including those who can provide support. Flanagan made a 10-year commitment to CLI in the beginning to see where it went. He made a plan and put it into action. If it was meant to be and God would bless it, then 10 years was a good time frame. Now 20 years later, CLI is helping so many leaders in the Church. Melissa said it was also a commitment by an all-volunteer staff that came onboard with Flanagan's vision. There are 26 full-time staff in their main office outside Philadelphia, plus about 30 full- and part-time trainers who travel around the country running leadership training. The full-time trainers travel three out of four weeks per month. The priest-trainers are able to give 3 or 4 days per month. Scot asked how many of the staff are Villanova grads: Melissa said she is, as is Flanagan. Manion has a Master's and there are three or four others who also have some affiliation with the university. Fr. Bill Dickinson joined CLI in 2006 as the organization's National Director for Leadership Development. He's been approved by his bishop to stay with CLI for another 5 years. Flanagan needed a priest to sell the nation's bishops on CLI's offerings and show them how it can be effective for their dioceses. **2nd segment:**  Good Leaders, Good Shepherds is the flagship program of CLI and Boston was one of the pilot programs. MElissa said it's meant to help priests find more time and better ways to be a better leader and a good shepherd. Often their time is taken up with administration instead of bringing people the Word and sacraments. CLI says there are more effective ways to manage parishes and their workloads to free them to do what they became priests to do. Priests are called to teach, to sanctify, and to govern, and often governance training is neglected in the seminary. Scot said it's his experience that the seminary tries to teach so much in theology and spiritual life, that there's only so much they can teach in 4-6 years. Plus leadership training is better when they've got a few years of experience already. When they come to GLGS they can have specific issues they want to deal with or specific areas they know they need help with. MElissa said a priest can have a wonderful group of parishioners who are just waiting to be asked to help and GLGS helps him form teams and alliances within the local community to enhance the mission of the parish/ Both GLGS and Tending the Talents have the same six contexts for leadership. The first is self-preparation for leadership, helping the person become more aware of their own leadership tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses are. Melissa said you have to be able to lead yourself first. The DISC profile they use help you increase your strengths and address your weaknesses. * [What is DISC?](http://www.discprofile.com/whatisdisc.htm) Scot said on the GLGS side, they integrate where the priest wants to be in six months, 1 year, and longer and what kind of priest they want to be. MElissa said they often have an idea of who they want to be when they leave seminary and all the pressures overwhelm them and obscure that idea. This helps them get back to the central idea of their priesthood. Scot said the central idea is becoming a priestly leader, not just a regular kind of leader. What makes Catholic leadership for priests and lay leaders different from leadership for corporate leaders? Melissa said the difference is shepherding after the heart of Jesus. The second module or context is leadership of self. Melissa said it includes creating your own vision and purpose statement, and formulating goals to help them accomplish that. It includes health and wellness, greater personal formation, and then more administrative and governance goals. They use the SMART goals concept: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely goals. * [Creating SMART goals](http://www.topachievement.com/smart.html) Melissa said it gives them focus and it puts time frames and parameters around their goals. The next leadership context is Leading in the one to one context. It includes helping a specific staff member get the most out of themselves. Melissa said it is one of the most frequently used contexts in leadership. It looks at their gifts and talents, helping them take the DISC profile, and establishing key responsibility areas and SMART goals. It helps them become more effective, freeing the pastor to serve the parish in a greater capacity because the staff members are able to carry out his vision for the parish in that specific role. Scot said there's often fear around giving constructive criticism and there's a science about this that's passed on by Good Leaders, Good Shepherds. Melissa said that a lot of it is listening. She related a story from one priest who said his director of religious ed noticed the difference that GLGS was making in him, specifically that he now listens to her better when she speaks to him. **3rd segment:** The next context is leadership of teams. A pastor's life often includes staffs and committees. Melissa said it teaches the pastor how to charter, sponsor and give a vision to a team such that he doesn't need to be present for them all the time. Thus they don't have to be at meeting after meeting, but be assured that the team will accomplish the goals and purpose that has been created for them. It includes effective meeting management, recruiting of team/committee members. The idea is that people on the team itself don't feel that the team is pointless. Another aspect of leadership of the team is keeping the teams on track, giving them a timeframe in which to get their job done (and not someone else's job) as well as to prioritize. The priest-leader sets specific goals and time limits for every meeting with an agenda that has specific times to talk about each agenda item. The next context is leadership in the organization or the parish. Scot said a parish is a complex $1-1.5 million organization with a staff of employees, but also thousands of souls who need to be shepherded. Meanwhile many of our pastors are even younger than before, some becoming pastors just five years after ordination. Melissa said they have the priests set a vision for the parish, what this particular parish in this place and time is called to do. Then they whittle it down to all the bits and pieces that can bring the vision to reality. It gives them a context to proclaim to their people so they all know who the parish is serving and what they are called to do and be. Scot said some would ask why would Parish A's vision be difference from Parish B's vision. He would say every parish is different with different cultures, different places, and so on. In one parish, they might prioritize youth ministry. Another might prioritize a period of healing after a merger of two previous parishes. Melissa said every parish is called to lead people to Christ and manifest the Kingdom of God on earth, but every parish will do that in a different way, partly because the gifts and talents in the pews are different from one place to another.  The next context is strategic relationships, i.e those organizations that function outside the parish, including soup kitchens or other parishes. For example, a priest asked his parishioners what they dream about to enhance their community and faith life. Many wanted to serve the community with non-Catholics in the area that serve the poor. So they work with nonCatholic churches to serve the poor and partnered with a Catholic parish in Haiti. Scot said the universal Church does not end at the borders of this parish. MElissa said this context helps the parish share the Gospel outside the parish community. Scot said about 40 or 50 priests ion the Archdiocese of Boston have gone through Good Leaders, Good Shepherds. Melissa said there have been about 1,600 priests who are enrolled or graduated including some from Trinidad and Vancouver. How does Tending the Talents differ? Melissa said it's supposed to be complimentary to GLGS. A priest comes back with new leadership tools and the parish staff then goes to Tending the Talents to help them understand the new vision for leadership. They have a lot of the same leadership training, but do it knowing their pastor has already gone through it, which allows it to be anchored with deeper roots and reinforced. They can then also set their own goals and key responsibility areas instead of relying solely on the pastor to do it. **4th segment:** Catholic Leadership Institute also works with bishops to help them with the same types of skills that pastors have received. Melissa said they are talking to the dioceses of Kalamazoo and Laredo to create visions and priorities which will help parishes align themselves with that vision. Scot said his experience is that most leaders have a vision, but they haven't articulated it in a way that helps to align everyone to the direction they need to go. Melissa said it's often about communicating the vision after putting it on paper. Just last week Bishop Bradley in Kalamazoo communicated that vision, which is to serve every person in their region, not just the Catholics. The vision is to be the Catholic voice there and all of the priorities are oriented to that vision. CLI is awarding four recipients an award for Catholic leadership on November 11 in Philadelphia. Cardinal Seán is one of the recipients. Also, Tom Monaghan, founder of Ave Maria University and Domino's Pizza. Previous recipients have included Immaculee Ilibagiza, Matthew Kelly, Raymond Arroyo, Sr. Briege McKenna, Mother Mary Assmumpta, and many others. Much of CLI's revenue comes from tuition for their programs, but any new initiatives or expansion of their work comes from donations. * [Founder's 20/20 Challenge](https://www.catholicleaders.org/donate.aspx)
