Ministerial Reviews
Ministerial reviews
Integrity in Our Common Mission states that:
As part of their vocational commitment Clergy and religious also continue to develop the pastoral and professional skills their ministries require. Among the behavioural standards that follow from this principle are: … establishing processes to evaluate the quality of one’s work, including assessment by one’s peers and those one serves [and] engaging in guided self-appraisal (4.2).
The National Catholic Safeguarding Standards calls for the implementation of annual performance appraisals (Standard 5.5).
Overview
Each Clergy will undertake an annual Self-Guided Review. This will form the basis for an annual PPD Plan
Annual self-guided review
At the beginning of each year, Clergy members will receive the following:
An email letter containing a Self-Guided Review document which will indicate the completion date (June 30)
There will be a reminder for Clergy members to meet with their Supervisor, having sent him/her a copy of their Self-Guided Review, one week before.
The Self-Guided Review is intended solely for the Clergy member’s benefit and may be shared with his Supervisor, Spiritual Director and other trusted individuals. All the information arising from the Self-Guided Review is confidential unless the Clergy member gives his permission for it to be shared with a third party. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Self-Guided Review tool will be returned to the Clergy member.
If you are thinking of or have questions about Ministerial Review, please call or email the Clergy Life and Ministry Office to arrange a confidential discussion with the
Clergy Care Coordinator.
