EXTON, PA (NOVEMBER 9, 2007) - The Catholic Leadership Institute (CLI) will present the 2007 Awards for Outstanding Catholic Leadership to four national Catholic leaders at a reception and dinner to be held Friday, November 9th at the Drexelbrook, 4700 Drexelbrook Drive, Drexel Hill, PA.

The 2007 honorees include:
• Dr. Theresa Burke, founder of Rachel's Vineyard Ministries, a life-restoring retreat model that has helped over 60,000 men and women suffering from the trauma of abortion.
• Rev. William Byron, SJ, President of St. Joseph's Preparatory School and former president of both the Catholic University of America and University of Scranton, a prolific writer and author of several books including Toward Stewardship and Take Your Diploma and Run.
• The Holy Spirit Adoration Sisters (The Pink Sisters) a world-wide contemplative, cloistered congregation of sisters who are devoted to perpetual adoration before the Eucharist and whose insightful use of technology has transformed the way millions pray around the world.
• Curtis Martin, founder of FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) a national organization devoted to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with college students and empowering them to fulfill God's call for their lives.

"CLI developed the Awards for Outstanding Catholic Leadership in 2000 to recognize people in the Catholic Church whose exemplary leadership in the family, the workplace, the community and the Church has been inspired by their Catholic faith," said Timothy C. Flanagan,
founder and chairman of the Catholic Leadership Institute. "The lay, clergy and religious men and women named this year have inspired and led others and serve as role models for future Church and lay leaders."

A reception beginning at 6:00 p.m. will be followed by dinner and the awards ceremony. For more information, call 610.363.1315.

THE HOLY SPIRIT ADORATION SISTERS (THE PINK SISTERS)

The over 400 members worldwide dedicate their lives to praying for the sanctification of priests and the intentions of all the world. The US congregation founded in Philadelphia has been particularly cutting edge in its approach to a life of prayer by leveraging technology to offer perpetual adoration and to receive prayer intentions via the world wide web.
