Work of Heart

April 22, 2021 | Media

Fr. Paul was surprised when Michael George from The Catholic Foundation came to campus and presented their Work of Heart Award to him. Students, faculty and board members gathered in the back parking lot for the surprise. Mr. George read some of the heartfelt comments that were made with his numerous nominations, and in the end, he concluded with the statement that “Sometimes, it is really important to shine the light on a wonderful example of humble, life-long and faith-filled service knowing what an inspiration that in itself can provide to others.”

Fr. Paul, thank you for your leadership, love and laughter during this challenging year. We were thrilled to be able to celebrate you with this award and enjoy Howdy Homemade ice cream afterwards!
