CCO’s previous 10 Year Vision—be protagonists in the mission of proclaiming Jesus clearly and simply—honed in on the first part of CCO’s mission statement: CCO is a university movement dedicated to evangelization.
This past year, we have been discerning the Lord’s vision for CCO for the decade. We undertook an extensive process of prayer, visioning, reflection, research and discernment to be attentive to the voice of the Holy Spirit. These next ten years align dramatically with a pivotal moment in history—2033—the two thousandth anniversary of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. As a movement focused on Jesus, this feels incredibly significant.
Anticipating the Great Jubilee 2033, CCO’s new 10 Year Vision (2023-2033) is to activate multiplying leaders toward the fulfilment of Jesus’ Great Commission.
CCO has Great Expectations for this decade and we want to be ready, attentive, and active. Our new 10 Year Vision builds on that and extends into the second part of our mission statement: to challenge young adults to live in the fullness of the Catholic faith, with a strong emphasis on becoming leaders for the renewal of the world.
Over this next decade, we want to activate more multiplying leaders than ever before—current and future students, past and future CCO alumni, long-time partners and new potential collaborators—as missionary disciples in their communities, families, parishes, workplaces, and the world.
This includes you! For the Catholic Church to accomplish her evangelizing mission she needs active witnesses, faithful disciples, protagonists and leaders who can intentionally accompany others into mission. In CCO we know this as our three pillars: Proclaim–Equip–Commission.
We are honoured to partner with you and ready to support you as a multiplying leader over the next decade.
