The annual Archdiocesan Leadership Institute 2014 took place on Friday, March 21, at the Flaget Center in Louisville.
The topic of this ALI was "Encountering Jesus." The personable and popular keynote presenter was Fr. James Martin, S.J., an editor-at-large for America magazine, author, TV news commentator, and humorist.
The program began with prayer, then opening comments from Archbishop Joseph Kurtz.
As he spoke, Fr. Martin focused in particular on content from his newly-published, New York Times bestselling book, published by HarperOne, called Jesus: A Pilgrimage.
Over 225 staff members from Catholic parishes and schools, Archdiocesan pastoral departments, and service other agencies took part. Members of the Archdiocesan Office of Lifelong Formation & Education (OLFE) participated throughout the day and helped to host the ALI event at Flaget.
Since multiple copies of several of Fr. Martin's texts were available for purchase, a feature for many attendees was a book-signing (autograph) reception with the keynoter.
