Our Mission

Mission

Ohio-Pennsylvania Associate Leadership (OPAL) brings to light a commitment to support and enrich current and emerging leaders by offering opportunities to grow within the associate relationship to live out God's call to service and love.

Vision

Guided by the Holy Spirit and the rooted in the charisms of our religious affiliations, we will partner with each other to carry on the mission of Jesus based on the needs of our time. We gather to share prayer, ideas, resources, and challenges as we move into new ways of being – new ways of ministering.
