Partners in Catholic Charities’ Mission Honored at Annual Meeting
Catholic Charites' St. Nicholas Dinner and Annual Meeting, held in early December, honored several of Catholic Charities' faithful partners in mission.
Archbishop's Award
The Archbishop’s Award, given to an individual who has shown dedication to Catholic Charities’ mission, was awarded to Lorraine Fischer. 2008 will mark Lorraine’s 20th anniversary as a Catholic Charities volunteer with the Volunteer Resources department. Twice a week, Lorraine assists with nearly every aspect of the administrative work needed to successfully manage volunteers for the Family Services division. She helps make the work of 11,000 other volunteers possible.
Catholic Charities' Board of Directors Award
The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet received the Catholic Charities’ Board of Directors Award, given to a corporation or group who demonstrates outstanding accomplishment in working with the poor or disenfranchised. The Sisters create change through generosity, advocacy, service and prayer. The Sisters' commitment to our community’s most vulnerable members aligns with Catholic Charities’ mission. The devout commitment of these award recipients to Catholic Charities, to the Twin Cities and to the common good deserves much recognition and thanks. |
