As religious sponsors increasingly relinquished their CEO positions throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, they established mission integration positions-staffed primarily by women religious-to help ensure the Catholic identity of their facilities. Now that role, too, is undergoing change as sponsors seek to empower the laity in their organizations with responsibility for carrying on the Church's healing mission. At St. Vincent Hospitals and Health Services in Indianapolis, the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, the organization's sponsor, has developed a mentoring program to train the laity in the roles and responsibilities involved in mission. The year-long program has 11 modules that present theory on such topics as ethics, spirituality, the sponsor's history and charism, and the relationship of the healthcare organization to the Church. Participants also attend committee meetings, complete a mission integration project, and gain practical experience in mission-related activities.
在整个20世纪80年代和90年代初，随着宗教赞助方越来越多地放弃其首席执行官职位，他们设立了使命整合职位——主要由修女担任——以帮助确保其机构的天主教特性。如今，随着赞助方试图赋予其组织中的平信徒权力，使其承担起教会的治疗使命，这一角色也在发生变化。在印第安纳波利斯的圣文森特医院及医疗服务机构，该机构的赞助方圣文森特·德·保罗慈善会制定了一项指导计划，以培训平信徒承担使命相关的角色和责任。这个为期一年的计划有11个模块，介绍了诸如伦理、灵性、赞助方的历史和神恩，以及医疗保健机构与教会的关系等主题的理论。参与者还参加委员会会议，完成一个使命整合项目，并在与使命相关的活动中获得实践经验。
