​Service Award recipients for 2017, Mary Ann Cluley and Martin Cameron pictured above with with Deacon Jim Boland (left) and Father Gary Rottman (right). The recipients were announced and given their medals at the Sunday Mass celebrating the Feast of St. Charles Borromeo.  That Mass was held on Sunday, November 5, 2017.  The recipients each year are chosen by the priest assigned to the parish.  It is always a surprise for the recipients.  This year's recipients were actually chosen by Father Jonathon Frels, former parish administrator. Consideration for this award includes the service contributions that made to the parish both in the last year and over the time recipients have been a member here.
