The Diocesan Leadership Award is given to one or two youth in each parish on an annual basis.  The recipients are submitted to the Office of Youth Ministry and are chosen by the Priest, Principals, DRE's, Youth and/or Campus Ministers.  The recipients of the award have been a witness to others through their involvement with their parish/school ministry by sharing their gifts of time, talent and treasure.  These individuals are also leaders and share their leadership skills, dedication, responsibility and faith with others.
