Redeeming Administration by Ann M Garrido

Redeeming Administration by Ann M Garrido

Winner of a 2014 Catholic Press Award: Professional Book (Third Place).

Ann Garrido's 2009 article in America magazine on the spirituality of administration in Catholic settings created a wave of demand in this successful academic administrator's already full speaking schedule. Garrido admits that she sometimes finds administration draining, even boring, as it fractures her days into "tiny shards of time" that make it impossible to focus on "the big ideas." And yet she has found spiritual gifts in her many years as a theologian, parish minister, and administrator in higher education. In Redeeming Administration, she reveals those gifts by examining twelve spiritual habits for Catholic leaders in parishes, schools, religious communities, and other institutions--presenting a saint who embodies each habit--and showing readers how to experience their administrative work as a crucial ministry of the Church.

A brief prayer and questions for personal reflection, group conversation, or spiritual direction complete each chapter. Free downloads to accompany Redeeming Administration include a small-group guide and prayer resources.

Ann Garrido is associate professor of homiletics at Aquinas Institute of Theology in St. Louis, MO where she served as a regular faculty member and program administrator from 2000 - 2013. She now continues teaching with the institute from a distance while also working as a consultant in the areas of conflict mediation, administration, and leadership development. She is the author of three other books: Mustard Seed Preaching (LTP, 2004); A Concise Guide to Supervising a Ministry Student (Ave Maria, 2008); and Redeeming Administration (Ave Maria, 2013), as well as numerous journal and magazine articles.
