HOLY REDEEMER STUDENTS RECEIVE BISHOP’S YOUTH AWARD
Over 50 Holy Redeemer seniors received the Bishop’s Youth Award from Bishop Joseph C. Bambera during Masses at the Cathedral of St. Peter Cathedral. The award recognizes outstanding seniors and eighth grade students for their exemplary practice of faith and genuine commitment to service in their schools and parishes. It is the highest recognition offered to Catholic youth of the Diocese of Scranton.
Students honored are considered to be exceptional volunteers, deeply spiritual, born leaders, and role models for younger students. They are active in their schools and parishes and are fundamental to the life of both in their many volunteer roles.
