LIFELINES

“A sense of deep communion with the rest of nature cannot be real if our hearts lack tenderness, compassion and concern for our fellow human beings. It is clearly inconsistent to combat trafficking in endangered species while remaining completely indifferent to human trafficking, unconcerned about the poor, or undertaking to destroy another human being deemed unwanted. This compromises the very meaning of our struggle for the sake of the environment. — Pope Francis, Laudato Si, no. 91 © 2015 Libreria Editrice Vaticana. Used with permission.

The intent of our ISLI program is to gather young people from around the eleven counties of the Diocese for a faith-filled experience that enhances leadership skills and promotes learning, sharing and prayer and readies young people to be leaders in their parish communities. Through ISLI, the Diocese desires to foster servant leadership and to nurture the continued development of value based, Christian decision making.
