Parish Service Awards

St. Josaphat's Feast Day is on November 12th every year. You can read more about St. Josaphat here.
 
Every year we celebrate St. Josaphat's Feast Day at the Sunday 10am Mass (if November 12th is not a Sunday, we celebrate the Sunday immediately following November 12th). We present the St. Josaphat Parish Service Awards to parishioners who have been giving outstanding and 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.

About the Parish Service Awards

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 (staff & employees are not eligible)
  • Must not have already received that particular award - refer to the "Awards by Last Name" list
  • Once a parishioner receives a Lifetime Award, they have reached the pinnacle of St. Josaphat Awards and are not eligible for further awards.
Please consider any parishioner you feel should be recognized for his or her outstanding service to the parish and let us know why.

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.
 
Prayer and Worship is awarded to our parish volunteers who help bring our weekly liturgies alive by their committed involvement.
 
Human Concerns is an area of parish life that reaches beyond our parish doors and out to our community.
 
Evangelization is for those volunteers who truly reach out to others to bring them into closer relationship with Jesus.
 
Education award goes to a parishioner who teaches by example through their own commitment to their faith.
 
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.
