Special to The Message
The Serra Club of Evansville is proud to announce the recipients of its 2023 Youth Service Award, presented annually to eighth-grade students in diocesan schools and religious-education programs.
The Youth Service Award recognizes students for Christian leadership, Christian formation and community involvement. It is important to recognize the service of our students because it is from service that vocations grow. Vocations to the priesthood and religious life depend especially upon one’s inner-developed desire to serve others and to give of oneself.
