Leisa Anslinger

Leisa Anslinger has a long history in parish ministry, which has helped form Leisa as an effective adviser to others in pastoral ministry. Leisa speaks nationally on several key topics. She is a known expert on lifelong catechesis and stewardship. These two dimensions of parish life intertwine in Leisa's work, one informing the other. She provides workshops on using StrengthsFinder in the Catholic Community. And, related to that, also provides parish-changing workshops on parishioner engagement. Leisa’s newest project is Bridges, a leader development process toward building evangelizing communities of disciples and stewards, with Stephanie Moore. She is a founding team member of the Catholic Strengths and Engagement Community.

Leisa holds a Bachelor's degree in Music Education from St. Mary-of-the-Woods College, a Masters in Secondary School Counseling from Purdue University and a Master of Arts in Religion from the Athenaeum of Ohio.
