Last week, Catholic Charities hosted its 24thannual St. Elizabeth of Hungary Awards on Friday, November 10, at La Sagrada Familia Church in Cleveland.
The St. Elizabeth Awards is an annual event to celebrate employees whose actions of service reflect Catholic Charities' mission and relate to the life and work of St. Elizabeth.
Bishop Michael G. Woost led attendees during an afternoon mass, followed by the presentation of awards by Dobie Moser, Sr. Director of Missions, CYO, and Social Action.
After the recipients of the awards were acknowledged, all guests were invited to a reception with refreshments and light appetizers to recognize both winners and nominees.
Congratulations to the nominees and winners of this year's St. Elizabeth Awards! Your dedication and hard work have not gone unnoticed.
