Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina

CHARLOTTE — This year marks the 36th anniversary of the Diocese of Charlotte providing leadership formation for high school aged youth and the adults who work with them.

This program focuses on proven life skills (communication, decision-making, group dynamics, negotiation, etc.) from a Catholic perspective (evangelization, missionary discipleship, Scripture, grace, sacraments, etc.).

Youth who are interested in attending this year’s leadership institute June 18-23 at Belmont Abbey College should go online to www.charlottediocese.org/ev/youth/events/faithful-servant.

Spiritual director will be Father Adrian Porras, pastor.

The deadline to register is July 28.
