I would assume that the person is already..
..a person of faith, and that they are a professional in the business.
If you're a catholic business leader, a businessman or businesswoman,
who's interested in integrating your faith,
the Gospel you believe in, the Lord you love,
with your everyday professional life,
life in the marketplace,
it might be very helpful indeed I would suggest to you,
it would be a great blessing
if you could attend one of the meetings of the
Association of Catholic Leaders.
(Evelynn): I'm very excited
that I'm at a breakfast, with Catholic leaders who
..aren't afraid..
..to be Catholic
..and who are here because, they want to make a difference in their community, as
Catholic leaders. (Jamie): I think this is a wonderful
thing, to have this leadership breakfast, because I find, as Catholics
..we tend to be more..
..solitary..
..in our faith.
We go to church,
We may pray, but
we don't necessarily
do that together.
In church we do it together, but do we really do it together, do we really know
the person beside us,
do we really have that fellowship. (Elvis): * speaking Mandarin *

(Celso): I do want to integrate
my faith in the work that I do.
In my profession, as a lawyer, we are often called upon to make difficult decisions
and choices, and having the faith to guide me
in that work, is fundamental,
and having the ability to get together with others in business and the
professions, to
..share experiences, certainly helps in that process.
(Tony): All of those things.. happen.
Those types of discussions.. happen.
It's not one-dimensional. It's not just about your faith, it's not just about business.
It's not just about you. Right?
It's something bigger than all of us. It's something that's going to help us be better.
(Archbishop): ACL..
has to build on the notion that one is committed; that there's a basic
understanding
that faith is important to one's life
and that one has the desire to integrate that faith with
the activity, the professional activity that you're living.
(Christine): And the very existence of an organization like the
Association of Catholic Leaders
shows that there is no separation between faith and life.
(Jason): I
really expect that
this new association
will offer peer support
as well as inspiration.
(Evelynn): Because I believe that this is going to become a movement
that everybody's going to want to become a part of
I'm looking forward to inviting
more people that I know that are going to get
a lot of benefit from this.
(Rene): People should come together embrace each other
and join each other,
hand-to-hand
to build a brighter future.
(Archbishop): You will find there
companionship..
You will find occasions for learning
how to integrate your faith, perhaps discuss
troubling ethical questions that are particular to a business leader
and you'll find it uh... a group of men and women
who want to grow
in their faith, but also in their professional lives and to bring
those two, together.
That's what you're going to find by attending
an ACL meeting.
I hope that you'll take the chance, or.. take the opportunity..
You'll find that it's a great blessing for you,
for your business,
and, for your faith.
