ABSTRACT

This chapter has been composed by three researchers who completed their doctoral studies under the supervision of Gerald Grace. Moreover, all three authors belong to the same Religious Congregation, one that has a long-standing commitment to Catholic education. This chapter aims to discuss the idea of the importance of mentoring in order to form Servant Leaders in Thai Catholic schools, by focusing on transmitting a distinctive value system and ethos. This chapter is divided into five major parts. The first part briefly explores concepts of Catholic schools based on Grace’s research and writings. The second part gives a brief introduction to the background of this chapter. The third part examines the important concept of mentoring the values of Catholic Servant Leadership. The fourth part provides a case study, focusing on mentoring in Catholic formation programmes in Sisters of Saint Paul of Chartres schools in Thailand. It will be concluded that the mentoring scheme described in this chapter, designed to form future leaders in the charism of the Congregation, is one that other schools could emulate.
