At St. Stephen Diocesan Center in Kaneohe, June 13-17, 35 youth from four islands gathered for the inaugural Christian Leadership Institute-Hawaii (CLI-HI). This program was organized by the diocesan Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry. Youth participated in activities such as daily prayer and worship, journaling and sessions on leadership skills, with the aim of developing their own unique gifts and talents for ministry. Twelve adult facilitators volunteered time at CLI-HI to oversee and support the young faithful. (HCH photo | Darlene J.M. Dela Cruz)
