Parish Service Awards

 

 

Every year, we present the St. Josaphat Parish Service Awards to parishioners who have been giving generous service through a parish ministry or parish-related volunteer activity.
St. Josaphat was all about bringing greater unity among Christians. He
was a Martyr who believed in uniting everyone to Christ. This feast is a perfect time to show our appreciation to parishioners who have strived to show that unity through their service to our parish.

 

Awards are given in the areas of Youth Ministry, Education, Human Concerns, Parish Life, Prayer & Worship, and Lifetime Service. Qualifications are that the nominee must be a parishioner, and s/he must not have already received that particular award. Once a parishioner receives a Lifetime Award, they have reached the pinnacle of St. Josaphat Awards and are not eligible.  Please consider any parishioner you feel should be recognized for his or her outstanding service to the parish.

Prayer and Worship is awarded to our parish volunteers who help bring our weekly liturgies alive by their committed involvement.

 

Education award goes to a parishioner who teaches by example through their own commitment to their faith.

 

Human Concerns is an area of parish life that reaches beyond our parish doors and out to our community.

 

Youth award is presented to youth from our parish who help us show the youth of our parish what it means to be connected with a community of believers.

 

Parish Life is for our volunteers who are involved with many different ministries in our parish. These men and women never say “no”. They show us what it looks like when you consider your parish, your extended family.

 

Lifetime award is given to a volunteer who embodies the overall unity of our parish.  It is a person of deep faith and commitment to our parish in many areas of parish life.

 

Thank you to these parishioners, and all that make St. Josaphat the parish that it is!  Below is a list of previous award winners. Winners are also commemorated in the vestibule of the church.
