Abstract: The purpose of this article is to detail one professional's experience in developing a close and collaborative professional working relationship with the Roman Catholic Church.

Three principles for effective collaboration with clergy are presented: understand the faith tradition, develop a shared language, and expand the boundaries of professional activities.
