Brother Gregory Cellini, OSF, with his book ‘Transform Yourself – Transform the World: A Franciscan View of Career’. Brother Gregory Cellini, OSF, is the Director of the Office of Mission, Ministry and Interfaith Dialogue and an Adjunct Professor at St Francis College, Brooklyn, New York.
“My story goes way back to senior year in high school,” he recounted. “I was part of a programme where you went to school in the morning and worked in the afternoon.” To many, career aspirations and Franciscan values are two contrasting concepts, impossible to be condensed into one specific area of study. However, probably due to his unique standpoint and life path, these suppositions have resonated in Bro Gregory’s mind and dreams since becoming a Brother.“The key event took place in October 2013. The College had sent me on a pilgrimage to Assisi and Rome.
It took a couple of years to put it all together and get the course approved. But, once we did, it was well-received by the students. I could readily see transformation occurring during each semester.The course follows St Francis’ footsteps, focusing on the Saint’s personal conversion during which he increasingly discovered who God intended him to be.
Coming back to St Francis, Bro Gregory recalled the famous episode where the Saint, prostrated in front of the San Damiano Cross, heard God’s voice saying: “Fraternal feedback, inclusiveness, gratitude, courage, right relationship. These Franciscan values are so critical in today’s 21st-century workplace.”Students leave Franciscan Career Transformation much freer than when they enter. A subtle but very effective technique used by Bro Gregory is to – at the beginning of each class – have the students place all of their electronic gadgets into what is called “the basket of freedom.
