Stewardship Link: Psalm 116:12 “What return shall I make to the Lord for all He has given to me?” 8 Congratulations to Kathy Callagy from OLGC Parish Who will be one of the 122 people who will receive the Cheverus Award. CARDINAL SEÁN TO PRESENT 122 CHEVERUS AWARDS ON NOVEMBER 18, 2012 BRAINTREE, MA (November 9, 2012) — Cardinal Seán P. O’Malley, OFM Cap will present 122 Cheverus Award Medals to laypersons, deacons and religious during a 3 pm service on Sunday, November 18 at the Cathedral of The Holy Cross. First presented in 2008 at the conclusion of the Archdiocese’s bicentennial, the annual award recognizes Catholics for their dedicated service to the Church. The medal is named for the city’s first bishop, Jean-Louis Anne Magdelaine Lefebvre de Cheverus, who led the diocese from 1808 until his return to France in 1824. Bishop Cheverus died in 1836 as the archbishop of Bordeaux. The oval-shaped medal is made of sterling silver and bears a likeness of Bishop Cheverus based on the Gilbert Stuart portrait. On the reverse side is Bishop Cheverus’ coat of arms. The medal recipients are chosen for their service to the Church and God’s people. Most recipients are nominated by their pastor, forwarded by their area vicar and approved by their regional bishop and Cardinal O’Malley. Some recipients are personally selected by Cardinal O’Malley. Each year, one third of the parishes of the archdiocese are asked to nominate a parishioner, therefore most parishes will have one honoree every three years. The criteria given to pastors is that the nominee should be a lay person who has served the parish well over an extended period of time and has done so in a quiet, unassuming and, perhaps, unrecognized fashion. The Regional Bishops each year are asked to nominate from their respective regions a religious and a deacon of similar qualifications to be honored with the Cheverus medal. The Central Ministries of the Archdiocese also make nominations from among religious, deacons and lay persons who serve on Archdiocesan committees or lead important ministries. Including this year’s group of 122 recipients, there are 518 individuals and couples that have been named Cheverus medalists. There were 68 in 2008, 133 in 2009, 98 in 2010 and 97 last year. The medals are typically presented on the Feast of Christ the King, which ends the Church’s liturgical year. Because of the consistory in Rome this year on that date, Cardinal Seán is presenting the awards a week earlier. There is no limit to the number of family members and friends who can join the honoree at the Cathedral. The presence of the pastor and a delegation of parishioners is warmly encouraged to help underline the appreciation and gratitude of the parish towards the honoree.
