Under the supervision of the Program Coordinator, PASOS Network, the Santa Rosa de Lima Fellow assists in fostering the faith, leadership, and vocational development of undergraduate and graduate students through comprehensive cultural programming and events.

The Santa Rosa de Lima Fellow will be a demonstrated self-starter with proven organizational skills to collaborate on the design, execution and assessment of programs and events in collaboration with the student and professional staff of University Mission and Ministry and community stakeholders.

Rooted in the University's Mission statement and the four pillars of service, study, community, and prayer, the Fellow will focus their time and energy on catalyzing cultural celebrations, such as assisting with SOAR, and the National Vocations Summit, all while supporting their own holistic formation through processes of spiritual acompañamiento, mentorship, vocational discernment, and self/communal reflection.

What is the PASOS Network?

It is a community that emerges from the relationships, cultures, intellectual and theological frameworks of Latine and BIPOC young adults and those who have formed them.

We constantly strive to root the ministry that we do at Dominican University, a Catholic, Hispanic-Serving Institution, in the community and cultural wealth of our Latine and BIPOC students.

The PASOS Network emerges from this local reality and that of many other institutions like ours. We seek new ways of theologizing and ministering en conjunto. Our ministries support and form young adults as ecclesial agents, "the now of God."

What does the PASOS Network do?

It fosters collegiality and creativity among faith-based institutions, especially those who are concerned with doing culturally responsive work through every practice that touches faith, justice and Catholic identity.

The PASOS Network does this through relationship building, ministry practices and scholarship.

What does PASOS stand for?

The five key elements of this model are a reflection of the vernacular of the students we serve.

• Pastoral - Enhancing culturally responsive ministry practices
• Acompañamiento - Rooting our ministries in theologies of accompaniment
• Study - Fostering connections between study and prayer through scholarship
• Organizing - Strengthening collective power to create change for our institutions and the Church
• Synodality - Journeying together as one Church
