The Catholic Strengths and Engagement Community (CSEC) is a grassroots nonprofit organization which provides thought leadership, peer-to-peer networking and sharing of best practices toward a more engaging parish in which people have the opportunity to develop and offer their God-given talents as good stewards. 

Whatever your faith tradition, we believe in the power of Strengths and Engagement to build a more compassionate and loving world. While we are the Catholic Strengths & Engagement Community, all of our materials can be easily adapted to most faith traditions!

CSEC Vision Statement: Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, our connected community of strengths-based leaders fosters engaged communities of committed disciples.

CSEC Mission Statement: The Catholic Strengths and Engagement Community provides a forum for members to connect, share and learn.

Join the CSEC Facebook group page here, where you may ask questions, share with others, and access dozens of peer-to-peer shared resources on engagement, strengths development, strengths in youth and young adult ministry, and recorded webinars on these topics.

Questions? Contact us here for more information on CSEC, engagement or strengths in your parish or diocese, or to offer your experience, expertise, or resources you have developed.
