Yesterday, Andreas Almgren won the NYC Marathon. For the first 22 miles he ran with the pack. Then, in the final miles, he pulled away and won. Anyone who has trained for a marathon knows: in order to go fast, you sometimes need to slow down. Read more on our blog: bit.ly/3WJZ6O6

On All Saints’ Day, we remember that holiness is never a solo pursuit. The communion of saints joins the faithful on earth, those being purified, and the saints in heaven in the life of the one Church.
But communities like these do not sustain themselves. In “Challenging a Culture of Convenience,” @kportermagee reflects on what we lose when convenience draws us away from shared life but more so how parishes and Catholic institutions remain places where faith is lived, relationships grow, and people accompany one another.
This All Saints’ Day, may the saints remind us that holiness grows together, wherever people gather, worship, and carry one another.

“We live in a performance-driven culture that constantly compares and ranks people, sometimes in a ruthless manner. A misguided meritocracy ultimately fails to respect people. This is why many end up giving up before they have even tried.”

A year ago, on the 60th anniversary of Gravissimum educationis, Pope Leo shared a vision of welcoming and quality for Catholic schools. This year, we are launching the Cabrini Leader Fellowship around that vision. Read more in our latest blog: bit.ly/4e779uh

In May, a @CSIS expert said: the Catholic Church has accomplished what U.S. politicians have failed to do: ground the national dialogue on AI in broader questions about what it means to be human
Last week, the @LeadershipRound Summit asked Catholic leaders what that this moment demands of us. 5 themes emerged👇

At the 2026 Catholic Partnership Summit, we brought Catholic leaders and AI experts together to grapple with this question and consider the Church’s role in a rapidly changing world.
Five themes emerged, with implications for how we lead, form others, and exercise responsibility within our institutions.

We’re looking forward to listening, learning from experts, and exchanging ideas about leading strong and vibrant Catholic institutions at the Catholic Partnership Summit, October 20–21.
Every decision to use AI is a decision about responsibility. Catholic leaders need to understand its limits, know where human judgment must remain, and consider who should help shape decisions about its use.
At the Catholic Partnership Summit on October 21, Matthew Harvey Sanders, Ashwin Bharath, and Fr. William O’Neill, S.J., Ph.D., will discuss what Catholic leaders need to understand before adopting AI, what safeguards can guide its use, and how local communities can help shape decisions.
Moderated by Leadership Roundtable Managing Partner, @kportermagee, the conversation will consider how Catholic leaders can keep human judgment and the Church’s mission at the center as they decide how AI should be used.

Replying to @kportermagee
@kportermagee: "Knowledge without understanding is, in the end, knowledge without meaning."
What happens when AI moves faster than human understanding?
How do we keep the human person at the center?
Strong institutions need a clear sense of what they are here to do and the judgment to make hard decisions in service of it.
At the @LeadershipRound Summit on October 21, Christian Dallavis, Fr. Peter Wojcik, and Sr. Teresa Maya, CCVI, Ph.D., will discuss how leaders can clarify what their mission asks of them now, turn that understanding into practice, and sustain it through change.
