This 8 page assessment tool was developed by Brother John Mark Falkenhain, OSB, for the Men Religious Moving Forward in Hope gatherings. This assessment tool may be used in a variety of ways depending on the nature and structure of the religious institute and can be adapted to a number of settings--such as, for individual reflection, for use in a series of small group discussions, or for use by leadership to generate strategic initiatives. The overarching aim of this assessment is to identify areas of strengths and areas that need development. Assessment questions are organized under 6 categories: Charism, Community, Spiritual Life & Prayer, Work, Preparation for Celibacy, and Relationship to the larger Church.
