Vivian Do (pictured with her family and Holy Family’s clergy) was awarded the 2023 St. Timothy Award, presented annually to one high school youth in each parish of the diocese, recognizing them for their public witness to their community.
Jonathan Perez Ramirez (pictured with his family and Holy Family’s clergy) received the 2023 Bishop Michael J. Begley Award, given to one youth in the diocese in recognition of their outstanding service to the Church, community, school and youth program.
Father James Stuhrenberg, pastor, wrote in his recommendation letter, “Jonathan Perez has been a shining example of servant leadership at Holy Family.” Jenn Barlow, parish youth minister, added, “Jonathan is one of the most giving teens I’ve encountered in my 12 years as a youth minister.”
