Leading in Hope is a leadership program for priests, and is required for priests newly ordained, in a new cure, or new to the Diocese of Alabama. Through peer learning and case-in-point teaching, participants will build a community of mutual support; explore and build adaptive leadership skills; and gain an understanding of the programs, ministries, and policies of the Diocese of Alabama. The program typically begins in September and runs for nine sessions with most sessions offered in person at Carpenter House.
