Nominate today for the Diocese of Sacramento's Marello Leadership Awards

Nominations are now open for the Diocese of Sacramento's Marello Leadership Awards. Named for St. Joseph Marello and presented as a partnership program between the Diocese of Sacramento and the Marello Youth Retreat Center, these special accolades strive to recognize exemplary youth and young adult leaders, and programs.

The 2012 awards will be presented at the 10th Anniversary Gala event for Marello Youth Retreat Center on Oct. 20.  Appropriately, the event theme is “Anchored Firmly,” an important dual significance as these awards go to individuals and programs who aim to "anchor" youth and young adult firmly in their faith.

Who do you know that exemplifies the Marello Leadership Award? What program are you aware of that through innovation and perhaps a bit of risk, stands out and forms youth or young adults in their faith?
