A Bouquet of Roses!

The PDCCW Board of Directors congratulates our 2024 Rose Award Scholarship winners, Penelope McVay of Sacred Heart parish in Peoria and Kathryn Russell of St. Philomena parish in Peoria. They are pictured here with PDCCW Vice-President and Chair of Women Connect Ministry, April Adams.

These young women were honored at our Second Annual day of "Prayer, Honor, and Blessings." The weather was GORGEOUS and perfect for honoring Our Lady with a Mass and May Crowning held at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Germantown Hills. After Mass, which was officiated by Father Chase Hilgenbrinck, everyone processed to the Grotto to pray the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Other graduating senior girls were also recognized: Avery Beltramea, Elizabeth "Ella" Coulter, Ellie Goble, Josie Hess, Georganna Laake, Katy Olsen, Clare Phillips, Kayla Ratermann, Karla Andrea Ramirez Rodriguez, Marin, Ruskusky, Molly Schultz, Maria Veliz, and Clare Vogel.

Thank you to all who attended to support these young women! The future looks bright for our Church!

Honoring of all Graduates and Rose Award Scholarships presented

*The Rose Award Scholarships encourage young women who actively live their Catholic faith to continue their participation and grow in leadership, spirituality, and service throughout their lives.  For, in the words of Saint John Paul II, “the liberating message of the Gospel of Life has been put into your hands, and the mission of proclaiming it to the ends of the earth is now passing to your generation.”

 

We invite you to bring flowers from your yard to be placed on Mary’s altar during the procession.

No registration is required.

Sponsored by the Peoria Diocesan Council of Catholic Women’s

Women Connect Ministry

*If you have not heard of the PDCCW Rose Award, ask your parish priest about it. Nomination

and essay information was sent in an email to all parishes of the diocese in March.
