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. 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. Please consider any parishioner you feel should be recognized for his or her outstanding service to the parish.
Award recipients are also commemorated in a frame in the vestibule of the church.
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.
