NRVC awardees recognized for vocation contribution
The NRVC ended its virtual convocation October 31 by presenting awards for outstanding contributions to vocation ministry to seven individuals and the Notre Dame Vision program. Mary Lou Rafferty, owner of the J.S. Paluch Company, Inc., was given the Harvest Award. Rafferty and her company have lent support to vocation efforts in numerous ways for decades, most notably by hosting an annual seminar for diocesan and religious life vocation personnel. Father Ray Carey, who has conducted workshops on ethics and assessment for decades, was presented a lifetime membership. Five members of NRVC who have gone above and beyond in service to vocation ministry received the Outstanding Recognition Award: Sister Michael Francine Duncan, S.S.M.O., Brother Ronnie Hingle, S.C., Sister Marie Mackey, C.S.J., Sister Priscilla Moreno, R.S.M., and Brother Sean Sammon, F.M.S. The Notre Dame Vision program—a summertime faith development program for high school students—received the Mustard Seed Award. Learn more here.
