Abstract	This phenomenological study aimed to explore the experiences and perspectives of Lay Mission Partners (LaMPs) at St. Louise De Marillac College, Inc. (SLMCSI), focusing on their empowerment in administrative and supervisory roles. The purpose was to understand the factors influencing their effectiveness and identify how empowerment can enhance their contributions to the institution's mission. The study involved 20 participants, all of whom were LaMPs assigned as administrators. The research employed qualitative methods, specifically interviews and focus group discussions, to gather data. Key findings revealed that LaMPs' empowerment is significantly influenced by clearly defined roles, mentorship, and recognition of their contributions. Empowered LaMPs demonstrated higher engagement and ownership in their duties, positively impacting the college’s mission. However, challenges such as unclear role expectations, lack of formal training, and limited professional development were also identified. Based on these findings, the study recommended implementing development plans, mentorship initiatives, and robust feedback mechanisms to further empower LaMPs. The study concluded that Lay Mission Partners are essential to the college’s educational framework and mission-driven environment. By enhancing their empowerment through structured support, SLMCSI can foster a more inclusive and supportive academic community. Recommendations also included prioritizing clarity in roles and fostering open communication. Further research could investigate the broader impacts of LaMPs on institutional effectiveness and community engagement.
