Steve Crate, subdeacon at St. Joseph’s Maronite Catholic Church in the Eparchy of St. Maron, was selected as a Fellow for the Ninth annual Catholic Leadership Certificate Program at the University of Notre Dame July 7-14, according to a news release from the The University of Notre Dame Catholic Leadership Certificate Program in Indiana.

Crate, from Waterville, joined 46 other leaders from more than 20 countries from North America, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
