Episcopal Advisory Board

The newly formed advisory board is the culmination of tireless and generous work by the Most Reverend Earl K. Fernandes, the Most Reverend James D. Conley, and the Most Reverend Andrew H. Cozzens, all supporters of ICLE and champions of Catholic education. Drawing upon the bishops’ deep experience, wisdom, and pastoral insights, this strategic board will provide an enormous boost to ICLE’s mission, enhance its institutional credibility, and strengthen its philanthropic initiatives as demand for its Catholic education renewal programs reach growing demands and provide increasing impact.

This collaboration allows for deeper engagement between ICLE and dioceses across the country to plan for the future, respond to the requests for its services, and discern new ways to serve the Church.
